View of Luna Park on Coney Island at night from an elevation. On the left, a lighted street passes through the park. Brilliantly lit towers and buildings cross the center of the image. In the left center, words across a building advertise the famous "Trip to the Moon" ride. Luna Park opened in 1903 and closed in 1944 after two fires. At night, it was lit by more than a million lights.
