        *Charitably,* it's a double exposure. Not physically possible in single frame. (It's a time exposure—streaks—and moon is daylight exposure.)

        I've always thought how fortunate New Yorkers are to live in such a beautiful, bustling city. I 💖 it with or without lights!

        My father worked that blackout. Was an expert in locating faults in utility cables. Went to NYC for a wk (we're from CT). Was proud to help.

        Supposedly Bob Dylan wrote “Visions Of Johanna” during the blackout. The working title was “Seems Like A Freeze-Out.”
