BRIGHT PROSPECT
When most people think of NYC Christmas displays, the first things that come to mind are the tree at Rockefeller Center and the window displays of Manhattan's major department stores. Those interested, however, may want to check out Brooklyn's Prospect Park this year.
The four major entrances to the park are the venues for a display called Prospect Park In Lights. Brooklyn-based lighting designer Jim Conti employed more than a half-million light emitting diodes (LEDs) to decorate the park's main entrances.
Last night I visited the Grand Army Plaza with its Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch. While the entire display was not on as it was pretty late, the effect is still impressive. I then walked south down to Bartel-Pritchard Circle at the southwest corner of the park. Its two flanking colonnades stood like beacons. To see some of the pictures I took of Prospect Park In Lights, check here.
