Off-Topic Post #2

At five o'clock last night, I'm walking through Grand Central Station when there's a jingle of bells and music begins to play. I stop in the middle of the concourse - which, if you've never been there, is this high, open, echoing space - and watch as a cascade of lights begin to fall along the walls. It a nightly holiday show, and it's quite lovely.

I took the picture below with my cell phone, from the top of the stairs by Park Avenue. The quality's not great, but to give you an idea of the scale, the series of horizontal white lights toward the lower left are the train schedules, which stand about 10 or 12 feet off the main floor. To see a larger version, click on the picture.
