Leica M9
I visited NYC last Fall, and my wife and I toured the World Trade Center Memorial. I was particularly interested in seeing it because going to the top of the WTC is one of my strongest memories from visiting NYC 30+ years ago.
I was incredibly moved by this memorial. Moreso than any other I have seen. It was much, much more than I had imagined. In this series, I hope to relay what I saw and what I felt.
The site contains two of these huge pools, which are the actual sites of the twin towers. The actual footprints of the buildings!
In the middle-bottom of this image, you see a reflection of a building, that is the new Freedom Tower which was nearly complete (at least the exterior) when I was there.
As you can see, the scale is enormous. Water cascades down from each wall, into the pool, and then into a secondary opening. You cannot see the bottom of this opening.
More to come...
