World Trade Center Towers
September 11, 2001- a day never to forget

I have been to the World Trade Center two times- 1986 and 1997.  These shots are all from 1997, when I actually had access to the towers and also when I was able to take better pictures.  All of these views are forever altered, and although there is talk of rebuilding, they will never be so tall and prominent, and probably for good reason, given the new reality.

Please enjoy these images for the views they offer, and for the history they now represent.  The images we have and the memories of those lost forever are now all that is left.

Views of New York City
These views are, alas, no longer possible on foot.  Here are a few stunning aerial shots of the city.
