So many replacement buildings! |
Another very close to the site. |
The only tree that survived the attacks. |
Side of sourth reflecting pool. |
South reflecting pool. There are two pools, each representing the footprint of the towers. |
Online reservations to visit are free, and there were a line of people on a cold NY morning. |
A little further away from the site, near Vesey. |
On the way to the site. |
St. Paul's Chapel, which functioned as an emergency medical center for the first days after the attacks. |
I've not been to the site since 2002; much has changed, yet I am certain the presence of the sacred and profound remain. I recall being stilled to silence; no need nor desire to utter a sound.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting these images of the rebuilding that is taking place. The lone tree and the two pools touched me deeply.
