NJ-NY memories 1: remembering 9/11

September 12, 2007

A day late to commemorate 9/11 but nevertheless it's something I've been wanting to do.  Here are a couple of pics taken during my US trip, from NJ to NY: 

        

The 1st photo was taken when I first arrived in Jersey City, winter was starting to wane then.  It's a debris from one of the towers and pinned to it were some other stuff found at Ground Zero (like a shoe, notes, water bottle, flag, flowers, shirt).  Location:  Along the Harborside boardwalk, Jersey City. The next pic is a statue of a soldier/volunteer (not sure exactly which) with wreaths of flowers and the American flag.  The 3rd and 4th photo are the marble monument set up along the Harborside boardwalk as well.  The last photo is the same as the first one, just taken at sunset during the first week of Spring.

                   

This first photo is the PATH Station where commuters take the train from New Jersey to New York.  The next ones are photos of the Ground Zero construction.

              

Here are artworks displayed at the PATH Station. 

             

St. Paul's Church:  The oldest church across Ground Zero/PATH Station that survived 9/11. 

 

This sculpture is "The Sphere" and used to be located at the plaza of the World Trade Center.  It was damaged during 9/11 but was moved to Bowling Green in downtown Manhattan (a few blocks from Ground Zero) as a temporary memorial.

I also stumbled across Anthony's World, take a look.
