The "Empty Sky" memorial in Liberty State Park was placed in honor of nearly 750 New Jersey victims of the Sept 11 attacks. I saw many people that night, even children reaching out to touch the names deeply engraved in stainless steel. The Families and Survivors committee unanimously selected this design and the title "Empty Sky" to represent the legacy of their loved ones whose lives were lost. The two walls point to where the twin towers once stood.
The title they chose to express their loss is from this Bruce Springseen song:
I woke up this morning
I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky

The cygnets had been swimming round the lake with one parent and on their return the other one swam out to meet them and then the cygnets rushed over to it and seemed to be greeted!
View during a hike to Skiddaw High Man, Lake District, Cumbria, England
Some background information
This is one of two older pictures from 2011, I hadn’t uploaded here yet.
Skiddaw is a mountain in the Lake District National Park in England. With a summit at 931 metres (3,054 feet) above sea level it is the fourth highest mountain in England. Skiddaw lies just north of the town of Keswick and dominates the skyline in this part of the northern lakes.
The mountain lends its name to the surrounding areas of "Skiddaw Forest", and "Back o' Skidda'" and to the isolated "Skiddaw House", situated to the east, formerly a shooting lodge and subsequently a youth hostel. It also provides the name for the slate derived from that region: Skiddaw Slate.
The summit ridge has a number of tops, which from north to south are known as North Top, High Man (the summit), Middle Top and South Top. All now bear cairns and a number of stone windshelters have been erected. Skiddaw has a subsidiary summit, Little Man, with its two own subsidiary summits Lesser Man and Jenkin Hill. It lies about 1.5 km south-south-east of the main peak.
The Northern Fells comprise a roughly circular upland area approaching 10 miles (16 km) in width. At the centre is the marshy depression of Skiddaw Forest— a treeless plateau at an altitude of 396 metres (1,299 feet); and flowing outwards from here are the rivers which divide the area into three sectors. The south-western sector, between the Glenderaterra Beck and Dash Beck, contains Skiddaw and its satellites.
Skiddaw itself takes the form of a north-south ridge about half a mile long, with steep slopes to east and west. The ridge continues northwards over Broad End to Bakestall, a fell overlooking the Whitewater Dash waterfall. Further ridges fan out east and west from the southern end of Skiddaw. To the south-east are Skiddaw Little Man, Lonscale Fell and Latrigg, an easily accessible viewpoint for Keswick and Derwentwater. Beyond these fells are the Glenderaterra Beck and the Blencathra group. The south western ridge curves round through 180 degrees to run north above the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake. This gives Skiddaw an "outer wall", comprising Carl Side, Long Side and Ullock Pike, collectively referred to as "Longside Edge". The final member of the Skiddaw Group is Dodd, a satellite of Carl Side.
Between Skiddaw and Longside Edge are the quiet valleys of Southerndale and Barkbethdale, separated by the spur of Buzzard Knott. These drain the western flanks of the fell to Bassenthwaite Lake. The eastern side of Skiddaw drains into Skiddaw Forest, much of the water reaching Candleseaves Bog. This marsh is the source of both the Dash Beck flowing northwest to Bassenthwaite and the River Caldew, beginning its long journey to the northeasterly situated Solway Firth via Carlisle.
Skiddaw's slopes are generally rounded and convex, looking from a distance as though a thick velvet blanket has been draped over a supporting frame. On the ridges the general terrain is of loose stones, but elsewhere all is grass and heather. The famous British fell walker, guidebook author and illustrator Alfred Wainwright noted that "its lines are smooth, its curves graceful; but because the slopes are steep everywhere, the quick build-up of the massif from valley levels to central summit is appreciated at a glance- and it should be an appreciative glance, for such massive strength and such beauty of outline rarely go together."
By the way, in 2017, the whole Lake District was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The explanation read that the area, which is famous for its scenic landscape of mountains, lakes, houses, gardens and parks, was celebrated through picturesque and romantic visual arts and literature from the 18th century on.
