This morning, I planned two photo shoots.

First, I went to Wall Street to get photos of the demonstrators protesting corrupt Wall Street investors' roles in sacrificing human and other life forms on our planet for monetary profit. See http://occupywallst.org/ for more information. Unfortunately from 9-10am, I could find no demonstrators at the Broadway entrances to Wall Street where the NY Police Department blocked public access. I proceeded to Bowling Green where the demonstration was to begin yesterday and no protesters were present. This photo shoot then became a non-event.

Then I walked to the second main photo shoot at the World Trade Center 911 Memorial by the way of Battery Park and Trinity Place. When I reached the only entrance to the Memorial at the south end of Ground Zero, I was told I had to go to the north end to get a pass and return to the south end to enter the Memorial. I told the guards there that I couldn't do that because I had been walking a considerable distance to get there and that I didn't have the strength to do that. I'm nearly 76 years old and have a history of artery blockage that is aggravated in stressful conditions.

So I walked a block toward a place where I could rest when a young lady appeared and said she overheard my conversation at the Memorial entrance and offered me a pass to enter the Memorial. It was one of those "Angel Appearance" moments.

I'm deeply grateful for such kind persons with a caring spirit. This gallery contains the photos I got on this particular day.
