Illumination, "triple moonlight," three times the strength of the moon's
rays. Searchlights flood the building; concealed yellow lights on
cornices in rear of columns. Three effects; flood lighting, relief
lighting, and combination of both. One night, flood light; next,
combination.
View from Administration Avenue across lagoon; finest reflections on
grounds; changing views; small sections of lagoon, mirror-like; others,
rippled or wavering; entire colonnade and rotunda reflected.
Suggestion of ancient ruin, intended by architect, brought out by
lighting. Great shadows, deepening toward base of columns.
Contrasted colors in colonnade, from across lagoon; pink walls, dark
green doors, columns silhouetted against walls.
