I was fortunate enough to see SSE with the work lights on recently. The lights are not as bright as you'd imagine, so some scenes are not that different from a "normal" day.
The photos here are presented with light levels altered to make them even brighter, though a few photos are not touched up.
Click any picture for a larger version.
Enjoy!
