Fort Wayne Night Lights

One of the pleasures for me of living in my 10th floor apartment is standing on my balcony after dark and enjoying the city lights spreading out in front of me. At first glance it looks like a sea of white lights but gradually the colors start popping out. Of course there are the usual red and green traffic lights, red brake lights, red and blue police lights and the red flashing TV tower lights.  There are also the crayon color painted chimneys on the Science Central building. They started lighting these up at night a few weeks after I moved in here and they are fun, but my favorite show of lights is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge.  It's always beautiful but tonight whoever controls those lights (or programs the computer) is really putting on a show. The colors have been shifting from rainbow rows fading in and out to solid colors, red, yellow, blue, green to deep purple followed by sparkles. It's really very beautiful and I'm guessing that at least the purple part is a tribute to Prince. If so it's a beautiful tribute.
