I've just realised that I took almost exactly the same photo the first time I visited Liverpool, last October, so I guess the same thought hit me again. I love the way the glass sides of the Mann Island building reflect the splendour of the ornate Port Authority Building. It's as though the modern building is acknowledging the beauty of the old one.

John Manderson, 46, Hamilton, Bermuda.
Bermuda welcomed some Harley Riders off of one of the cruise ships. They rode from one end of the island to the other and I tried to keep up, riding ahead to get them coming and going, and to take some pics for a local news web site.
Reflecting Absence
In 2003, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation launched an international competition to design a Memorial at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the lives lost in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Individuals and teams from around the world contributed design proposals.
On November 19, 2003, the thirteen-member jury – which included Maya Lin, designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and deputy mayor Patricia Harris – selected eight finalists. Michael Arad and Peter Walker's "Reflecting Absence" was chosen as the winning design on January 6, 2004.
Reflecting Absence consists of a field of trees interrupted by two large voids containing recessed pools, marking the footprints of the Twin Towers. The deciduous trees (swamp white oaks) are arranged in rows, forming informal clusters, clearings and groves. The park is at street level, sitting above the Memorial Museum. The World Trade Center site is a bathtub, as the area was excavated to construct the original World Trade Center and the earth was used to build Battery Park City, a neighboring residential community.
The names of the victims of the attacks (including those from the Pentagon, American Airlines flight 77, and United Airlines flight 93) and the 1993 bombing are inscribed on the parapets surrounding the waterfalls, in an arrangement based on "meaningful adjacencies".
The reflecting pond was incredibly still and mirror like tonight! Nice to have things line up for you when your shooting the evening sky. The light does not last long! Set 1 of 2

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
