I am bringing this photo forward - it was first posted two years ago after our visit to NYC.

- Reflecting Absence, Ground Zero, 9/11 Memorial, New York City, New York, USA -

 

I didn't know 'Edward V. Rowenhorst' nor any of the other 2,980 persons that perished but I remember and honour them all as best I can with each anniversary of 9/11. I found on our visit to New York City that the memorial that has been created is at once both subtle and powerful, evocative and yet healing. It was a difficult task to choose how to photograph the site, in fact, I nearly didn't photograph it at all.

 

Quoted from 'The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey' ... "The eight-acre Memorial consists of two reflecting pools, each nearly an acre in size, which feature the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. The pools lie within the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood and the names of those who perished in 2001 and in 1993 are inscribed on bronze parapets surrounding the pools."
