First National Bank Building at Night

Continuing from yesterday's blog, we also went to Raspberry Island last Saturday. I thought the First National Bank Building looked so festive with all the decorated trees around it.

According to Wikipedia, it was completed in 1931. They had a hard time getting the materials to construct it because the Empire State Building was being built at the same time.

We can see the flashing red of the sign at home through the trees in our back yard. Actually, it isn't flashing. There are three "1st" signs and they alternate being lit. Since this was a long exposure, the shot had to be timed just right to only have one sign visible.

Here is another timed exposure where I made it appear that two signs were lit at once. Oh, by the way, that "1st" sign is 50 feet tall!
