Some helped so others could have home

Some made it back, some didn't

Some left the homeland behind

Some are left behind ... ...

In remembrance of September 11, 2001. Thank you to all those who gave their lives, health, and time to save us you are all remembered and this work is dedicated to you.

Now that we have finally ended the war in Afghanistan let's hope that we can continue living and debating rather than using violence because war never really resolves anything. We need to debate with empathy, respect, positivity, patience, compromise, trust, truth, appreciation, facing the problem head-on together, staying calm, defining the problem, and finding common areas of agreement in order to help us reach the goal of compatibility. If both sides have the will to solve the problem a solution can be found. It takes time, effort, goodwill, and resolve, and a great deal of diplomacy and love, but peace is possible, let's make peace our goal!

We need to come together as families, villages, counties, states, countries, and most importantly globally.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

In rememberance of those killed on September 11, 2001.

The National September 11 Memorial waterfalls, called "Reflecting Absence," are something to behold. Love the way they reflect the image of current buildings while reminding everyone of what came before.

Where were you in 2001?

I was in my living room when the news broke.

I finally broke into the prison,

I found my place in the chain.

Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,

all the brave young men

they're waiting now to see a signal

which some killer will be lighting for pay.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,

you whom I cannot betray.

World Trade Center Twin Towers, August 2000

9-11 (September 11, 2001) was a shock for all of us. The destruction of the twin towers, and the attempted destruction of the Pentagon and the White House hurt us just where our enemies intended. This shot was taken with my Kodak Pony 35mm camera, after the light leak was fixed. HISTORICAL NOTE: I believe this shot was taken at a vending machine on East McKinney, more or less between the Central Post Office on the left and behind, and the central City hall building on the right and behind. The camera is looking due north.

Have a great weekend.

Nine years ago today, I was to start my new life in Florida. I got in my car to begin the long drive from Wisconsin, turned on the radio and just sat there because I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Needless to say, it was true. We will not forget! God Bless.

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Liz.

Thank you for your visits, comments and invites. hugs.

A dedication to those we tragically lost 10 years ago today.

15 years of pain, shame & blame

I never visited the Twin Towers myself. My brother did, shortly before the attacks in New York. He brought home the mugs as a memory from his visit. It was around noon in Stockholm when the first plane hit. I was eating my lunch at home, working at the greenhouse nursery at the time, watching the news as it happened. Twenty years on, it is still a surreal feeling.

Shot on September 11, 2017 from a waterfront pier in Jersey City, NJ. This panoramic shot of three vertical photos stitched together in Lightroom, was shot using a Canon 6D with a 50mm lens.

First attempt at a panoramic shot of New York from Jersey City, NJ. Shot on Canon 6D.

Lesson learned - use vertical positioning of camera on tripod instead of horizontal next time.

As if to enhance our memories, Mother Nature provided us today with a carbon copy of that crystal clear, deep blue, cloudless sky we saw on the morning of September 11, 2001. This shot is SOOC, looking north into the sky over Fairfax Station, VA.
