Last night, the Tribute in Light could be seen. Tribute in Light will be displayed on Sunday, September 11, but Gothamist suspects they were testing the memorial from its new West and Morris Streets location (atop a parking garage). This September 11, the City is encouraging people to make it a day of service through volunteerinng - here's information from the Mayor's Volunteer Center. And here's the city's September 11 Services website.
And more some September 11-related news: The MoMA will have an exhibit about safety through design, SAFE: Design Takes on Risk, in October, and the NY Times has an interview with some designers about the topic. The designers of the World Trade Center Memorial have selected gum trees that will grace the memorial. And a funeral was held yesterday for a firefighter who died on September 11, 2001; Gerard Baptiste's remains were identified earlier this year.





Yes, they were indeed testing it from the parking garage at West & Morris. This building is a block away from my apartment, so I hope to get some fantastic shots of it this year. (Last year my film camera putzed out on me with the metering and bombed on every single shot. ugh.)
I managed to get some shots down during the test last night; I was just hitting my stride when they shut it down at 11 or so:
