Remembering the disbelief and horror of eight years ago today, as well as the heroic efforts in the aftermath of the tragedy, I once again have opened this book of photographs to view the grim, necessary reminders of what happened that day:
Above Hallowed Ground: A Photographic Record of September 11, 2001, by photographers of the New York City Police DepartmentThe book is edited by Christopher Sweet and published by Viking Studio/Penguin Group, 2002.
Two years ago, I visited New York City for the first time since 9/11--five years after the attacks. I drove by where the Twin Towers once stood and took a harbor tour to get this view from the water of that empty space. It was an indescribable feeling.
Contrasted with the NYPD photo, below, of the same spot on 9/11.
This NYPD photo shows the Woolworth Building coming into view after the World Trade Center Towers fell. It was the tallest building in the world from 1913 to 1931.
And my photo from the water in 2007.
