Whenever an event is happening at The Hollywood Bowl searchlights over the venue
create two beams of intersecting lights.
I've always been enchanted by the magical static x
prominently featured from my living room balcony.
Never knowing its true purpose my imagination filled in the gap —
a modern day bat signal for buried treasure or an alien landing.
A little google search revealed the lights' true purpose:
to alert pilots to concerts below and therefore ward off aircraft noise.
And all along I though it was solely for the aesthetics!
