2023-07-19T12:00:00-04:00

Created by time lapse photographer Aaron Kreigher, this stunning video titled Neon Reflections highlights New York City and other cities around the world. Check it out!

Our cities are full of color and light. At night, they shine like a rainbow illuminating our world. This light is reflected in their waterways, on their buildings and streets, and even on the people who live there. For years, artists, craftsmen and craftswomen have designed brilliant neon signs that captured our attention with their colorful glow. Today, LED lights allow us to create an ever changing spectrum of color that adds a new brilliance to our cities’ skylines and streets at night.

These colorful urban metropolises are a reflection of the beautiful melting pot of people who imbue their character on their cities. And this continuously expanding rainbow of colors on our cities' skylines are a testament to the ever increasing diversity that we find within our cities and communities. This short timelapse film focuses on those colors and makes use of reflections, both natural and created, to help us reflect on the beauty that shines within all of us.
