WTC Area at Night

When I was walking around the World Trade Center, it was late enough that the memorial was closed, and this was as close as I could get to the famous pools.

It was very peaceful without all the people.

I still find it terrifying and sobering to think of the terrible events that took place here.

These photos were taken last time I was in New York City, when One World Trade Center was nearing completion.

Ground Zero

I was in New York with my family a couple of weeks ago visiting my father and stepmother, as well as my brother and his family. While there we made a visit to Ground Zero, which at this point is a large construction site. I found it very moving, very difficult not to think about what had happened there. The last time I was there, the World Trade Center was still standing; in fact, we all went to the top as tourists no more than a couple of months before 9/11. I have to admit, I'm not sure I would want to work on the site.

More from New York in a few weeks.
