This was a difficult one for me! I was clueless. All I could think of was a nice photo of bright city lights, but I have none in my Flickr stash. So I dug out two photos of buildings with bright lights. I love the colored lights. The first photo is of the Turning Stone Casino, in Oneida, NY. It’s owned by the Oneida Indians of Upstate New York. The Casino and resort are now one of the most luxurious and most popular resorts in the country. The new golf course is becoming more popular, too.
We visited the Casino for a conference hosted by the Alexander Hamilton Institute of Clinton, NY. You can read about that here.
The next photo is an old one of the Empire State Building. I took it in 1986, with my old beat-up Kodak point-and-shoot camera (we used camera film back then, lol). I lived in Manhattan for a year, as a drama student (but I seemed to do more musicals and handling of theater rope than drama!). You can read my post about living in Manhattan here. From my apartment window, I had a magnificent view of the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building was lit up every night, too. For Christmas, the lights were red and green, and for Easter, the lights were green and pink. lol. I took a photo of it, but I must have lost it with many other memories when my house burned down.
So that’s what I have for this week! How about you?
