McCarren Park lights 1


I look at the picture above all the time -- it's my computer desktop background -- and though it looks like it should be dreary, it never feels that way to me.

These pictures are of McCarren park and Automotive High School.  I've learned to admire their matter-of-fact, durable appearance, accented here by the lights' hint of sentient life under foreboding skies.

Why are these lights always on?

Maybe they aren't always on, but they are frequently on, even after the park is "closed", officially.

Don't know, Dave. Safety? No good reason?

All I know is that, perversely -- like most wasted energy -- it looks great lit and empty at night.
