RBC Plaza Crown Illumination

June 18, 2008 | Switch to full images

The crown atop RBC Plaza was flooded with light last night for a short time, pleasantly adding a focal point to the building at night. I'm guessing it was a test run, because it was not on for very long. Here are some pics:

Lights on RBC Plaza's crown. LEDs will shine on the spire portion (perhaps changing color?). Red aircraft beacons have been added to two corners of the compression ring.
The full moon competed for the brightest thing in the sky.
The RBC crown will prove to be yet another difficult object to properly expose for at night.
The moon gets caught in the RBC cage.
Frustratingly, the illumination of Two Hannover Square/BB&T has been not been coming on until past midnight. Even then, several setbacks are not lit.
