October is breast cancer awareness month in the US. The Arch is floodlit every night but on October 1 a department store sponsored pink lighting on the monument.With our suburban sprawl, I don't think many people saw this. Nevertheless, it was a poignant - and massive - reminder. One of my co-workers is a breast cancer survivor. We've seen what the disease does to a woman. It's good that this symbol was writ large.
c'est pour une belle cause (j'ai vu que les joueurs de foot us, pour le match du Monday, avaient mis aussi du rose pour être solidaire avec la détection du cancer du sein).
ReplyDeleteC'est un très bel effet, cela n'a pas du être facile de le faire.
En France, il a aussi beaucoup de publicité pour que les femmes se fassent détecter ce cancer.
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.

PS Still no damn bunny? Geezzz Bob!
Great image. Really cool to see the Arch lit like that and for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteThat's really dramatic!
ReplyDeleteHaving lived in the Mansion House facing the Arch for 2 years while on assignment in St. Louis, I've seen the Arch in many different seasons and weather, but this is a new one. I love it. It was a very clever idea to light up the Arch in pink.
ReplyDeleteNice work by both you and my former home town. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's striking to say the least and yes, a very noble cause.
ReplyDeleteway too cool!!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting.......I might not sleep a wink. Perhaps the frail and infirm bunny will magically appear tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart! :)
