When I got home from work on Thursday, January 5, 2012, I saw that the tower lights of the George Washington Bridge were on.

These lights are truly glorious, but only used on rare occasions. That’s a lot of candlepower and it must cost a pretty penny to use it.

Why were the towers illuminated in this case? Well, I called the Port Authority on Friday and they told me CBS television had arranged with them to have the lights on for filming of a show. I don’t know what show.

Anyway, here are some more shots of the bridge from Thursday night. Enjoy.
