Skywatch Friday

I usually get back to Brooklyn after work

and don't linger in the city. But if I hadn't been out 

with a friend the other night I would have 

missed this sight—from a couple of miles uptown, 

we could see these two blue beams shining up into the 

night sky from the site of the Trade Towers 

and this shot was taken by City Hall, 

about six blocks from Ground Zero.
