ESB Lighting schedule
 

Here is a link for those interested in the ESB lighting schedule
http://www.esbnyc.com/current_events_tower_lights.asp
If your waiting to see it in a specific color scheme for photos this list might help, you can also create an ESB colored light postcard on the page. I tried to do the e-postcard but it would not let me fill in the blanks.

Maybee Skyscraperpage.com can become a "lighting partner" and have our own colors lit one night of the year?.....wonder what the cost per member would work out to? LOL!
My vote for SSP colors - Yellow Top, Green Middle, Blue Bottom!

Thanks for all the pics Carlos:tup:

^ About 500,000 New Yorkers are of German descent. Unfortunately only a very small minority speaks German. :(

^^^

yeah that's a shame, but the tower looked amazing in the German flag colors!!!!!

Empire State Building gets a makeover
 

CNN Money The New York skyscraper is switching its iconic lights from incandescent bulbs to brighter and more energy efficient LEDs.

"From 10 colors to 16 million colors!"

Where's Waldo?
 

Where's Wally?, published in the United States and Canada as Where's Waldo?, is a series of children's books created by British illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group.

I wish Family Day was as official as Mothers and Fathers'. But nice shot regardless.

I am not sure if that is the new lights yet entirely. In articles posted they are in the process of still changing them and installing new ones, specifically around the mast's fins.

Also they are teaching the building staff how to use and control the lights. :lol:

Those may be the new lights but they are definitely not being fully used just yet, with 16 million colors and different displays they can do and color changes, they haven't been debuted yet fully.

A news article would have been posted.

They have been testing them over the last few months.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkkJB...feature=relmfu

They did say it should be ready by September-October so who knows they may fully be installed already. I do hope though if that is the new lights, they actually use new colors and not the same 10 they have been using. Change it up... flash the lights, do light displays, patterns, etc, they have the technology now.

That is a very artificial view.

Yeah, its from a tv show. They took all of the classics and put them into one shot. If only it could be so.

lol. I know Dr. Who. It just got me for a second because I was thinking... there is no angle that would show all those towers since half of them are in downtown and ESB is not... So then I thought "Well, maybe its from an episode where he goes back in time and they just wanted to have all the cool art deco towers in one shot. But then I saw BoA, a very modern tower in there (I actually think they modified it) and part of citigroup. So I don't quite get what the point was of taking all the effort to compose that background when a normal shot of Midtown would have been just as impressive, if not more so.

That "fake" graveyard view looks pretty cool but fake, (there are TWO American International Buildings)

This new lighting system makes the tower look so much brighter and beautiful! :cheers:

Definitely very pretty! Love the LED lights. I think they are still working on installing them on the fins of the spire. :) But overall it looks great!

From some points yeah, mostly roofs, but Astoria Park has a nice view looking down the river towards Midtown Manhattan.

I can't see it from my apartment, then again I live on the 1st floor. :haha:

Wicked, wicked shot. Nothing beats b&w NYC shots from years ago.

^Nothing beats pre-ww2 New York City.
