The 50th anniversary of San Francisco's Sutro Tower will be commemorated with a spectacular laser light installation.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Sutro Tower, San Francisco's looming broadcast antenna complex turns 50 on July 4. The anniversary will be commemorated what is hoped will be a spectacular light show visible across the city.
Behind a thick layer of fog acting something like a stage curtain, technicians rushed to get everything ready for a performance that requires absolute precision.Davis and his Illuminate team will honor Sutro's 50th by sending 12 beams of light up through the tower, with a twist. "Yeah, they'll all rotate around and you'll see a hole right through the center when the skies clear out and the beams are just perfect," Davis said of the design."We're not gonna make it flashy, blinky or disturbing. We're always going to be pursuing beauty but we wanna see what happens if we move color through it."
