Those photos are beautiful.
In 2001 i'd seen it happening live on BBC News and for a brief moment i thought this was a scene from the next Die Hard or Rambo movie. I could not believe such things could happen in real life.
In Oct 2003 when i visited New York i felt i some how had to go to ground zero and see if what i saw on BBC News was real. When I got there I could not believe that in this very place (which looked like a huge hole in the ground). 2 huge towers once stood and people worked in them, i didnt seem real.
At ground zero out of respect for the people who died I didn't take any photos or video but I paid my respects and prayed to god that the evil which toppeled the twin towers would not happen again.
(By the way guys I'm a Sikh), yesterday on BBC News i saw photos of the new towers they look beautiful.

Nice snaps, Moose. I went out to Jersey City as well. A bit earlier than you, I suppose. We still had cloud cover.

Re: 9/11 Tribute in Lights
I saw the lights while I was driving last night. First thing that came through my mind were the events of that day. Then I thought, "darn I dont have any camera on me besides the crappy one on my phone".
Thanks for the pictures!
Re: 9/11 Tribute in Lights
Really great pictures John, they really capture the essence of exactly what we need to always do on 9/11: Remember.
Re: 9/11 Tribute in Lights
I got a shot of the tribute lights from Queens before I headed back to the Bronx from LGA

I wish I could have gotten out there but I was participating in a Fire Dept. ceremony.
For all that noticed, 10 Truck has a special paint scheme on it, honoring 9/11

Re: 9/11 Tribute in Lights
I'm not depressed about 9/11, but it seems as though every year I tend to end up watching some 9/11 videos, news coverage or whatever it is that is handy. I feel the need to try hard to re-comprehend what happened, so I can always cherish the memory of the buildings and people who died.
One part of the memorial process is looking forward to the gorgeous photos of the lights that I have seen annually here on the site. Beautiful work, as always, everyone.

Your thoughts and prayers are very welcome here in New York. Thank you.
