A 35-Mile Laser Rainbow Illuminates New York As A Memorial To Sandy’s Victims
Last night, New Yorkers looking up into the cloudy sky saw something quite out of the ordinary. Streaming across the skyline was a crisp rainbow, pointing from Manhattan’s west side and headed southeast toward the Rockaways. Pedestrians stopping to snap photos might have been excused in thinking it was a strange natural phenomenon, or some new viral marketing campaign. But the lights--which will be seen for the next two nights over the city, were in fact a memorial for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The project, called Global Rainbow After the Storm, by artist Yvette Mattern, is situated in the Standard Hotel, on the High Line. It points toward the devastated coast of Brooklyn. If conditions are right, the lights--which are projected from lasers--can be seen for 35 miles, so should extend far past the still-recovering areas and far out to sea. These photos were snapped by Drew Anthony Smith, our online photo editor.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Now for sure there will be a new printing of the book! 
I think our Central New York snow squalls were the inspiriation for the cloud wall!
This is Buffalo, but you get the idea!
[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I wanted to read it again because I remember I liked it, but the book went missing at some point.
Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to search more actively for a new copy.
