Weekend reflections from New York

The new World Trade Centre No1reflected in the 9/11 museum window

I found the memorial a fitting place to reflect and mourn the events of 9/11. Whilst in America the antennae was fitted which makes this building the highest in the USA as were the Twin Towers.






The two water features have been placed in the same positions as the original Towers.

The names of all those who died are stencilled into the bronze surround.



This bronze freize is outside the fire station nearest to 9/11 memorial.

  4. Very dramatic use of space in the city centre. It would feel somewhat strange/eerie visiting.
