Yep, there's two orange sodium lamps. One in front and a little to the right
side of the building (its post is along the left edge of photo), the other
visible at the left side and behind the building. The bluish cast is from
three sets of four large mercury(?) floodlights, surrounding the rocket on
display, about 50 to 75 meters in front of the building. They are a little
above ground level so they (actually, mostly one set) shine beneath the
trees. In fact, all other lights for the parking lot are sodium lamps too.
Very contrasting in color, obviously.

B&W, or grayscales, could definitely be good for this. Nice idea. I had been
back there at twilight the first time and late at night the next time (with
camera). Was very blue-gray from a twilight sky but the lights all take over
at night and mix blues with yellows. A power outage could make it look gray.
