City of Lights

Today from News in the 1910s.  I guess this must be the odd choice of the bunch, but I find this blurry image of unknown, motion-blurred illumination on Riverside Drive in New York City really moving and mysterious.  This photo, which consists of almost nothing but the capture of century-gone, momentary light, is a reminder that everything is fleeting, spinning and transitory.
