At night the stunning daytime colors gave way to black and white chiaroscuro. Electric lights outlined the
silhouette of the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Along the main avenue, more than 1,000 lamps with pear-shaped
globes on stately pillars, and bracket lamps and braziers in the arcades, gave the buildings a soft glow. The
haunting Churrigueresque relief of the Prado buildings was at its best at night under a full moon.
