Illuminated!


So I went to Canalside tonight to see on of Buffalo's iconic grain elevator illuminated and it did not disappoint. It was designed by Ambiances Design and will be lit 365 evenings a year starting tonight. The scenes on the elevator changed, representing the seasons of Western New York, and I have to say it was pretty spectacular. I also have to add how blown away I was by the sheer volume of people on the waterfront on this unseasonably warm November evening. The work and progress that has been done and continues to be done there is truly impressive. I've ridden my bike in that area for many years, and for many years it was a desolate industrial wasteland (I would be nervous being by myself even in the day time), but now it has been transformed into an all ages family-friendly waterfront. And this is just another example. Anyhow, click any photo for a slightly larger view.
