The Freedom Tower

This photo was taken from the Tribeca Pedestrian Bridge.
It was early evening and we were on our way to the 9/11 Memorial.
The building straight ahead is the new World Trade Center, The Freedom Tower.
I found it unsettling that when I took the photo a plane was flying over the building.
It brought back the horror of that day.
A very moving and solemn experience to visit the area.
My husband had worked in the Trade Center on the 81st floor for a number of years.
At the time of the terror attack he had changed jobs and was no longer in the city.

You will be thankful that husband was not caught up in all the horror of September 11th. But I can imagine standing here and it being an upsetting sight for lots of people as a reminder of those horrible days, Jane.V!!!

Nice to see the Freedom Tower in your finely put together picture. The plane, so small an element in the image but so powerful and significant. It is a fine shot that speaks volumes.

Can never forget that day! A fine shot but a little reminiscent of 9/11. V

The plane there is disturbing !! Things will never be the same. Thank God, your husband wasn't there that day. V

Nicely captured. Yes, it was a horrible day. Thank goodness your husband moved on.

Yes, that was the first thing coming to my mind too. The plane and the building in one shot. Nevertheless it is a very fine photo. V

Great image and super co-incidental to have that plane flying over as you took that photo Jane.

The airplane really makes this shot for me.

Well framed view, and a bit ominous with the plane. We used to have the annual board meetings of the shippers association I manged at Windows of World in the World Trade Center. "V"

An excellent but yes, unsettling, capture of the new tower with that plane in view. V.
