I wanted to share the view you have from the previous photo when you turn around.
This is the Winter Garden Atrium and the Freedom Tower.
These photos were taken on a previous trip to the city.
The Winter Garden was severely damaged on 9/11 but was rebuild with within a year of the terror attack.
It is a ten story pavilion that has a beautiful marble staircase and huge palm trees.
It hosts concerts and ballets and is a wonderful gathering place for those who live and work in the area.
We walked through there to reach The Oculus which took us to our subway line.
