Going across to the Statue of Liberty, the smoke blew out from the top of the ferry and I managed to catch it at this moment. I feel it gives the photograph a haunted feeling as the twin towers are no longer in the landscape.
One side of Ground Zero; a photograph of some memorial left for the service workers who lost there lives or went missing on that tragic day.
The photograph above is a memorial created by the city to show there apprieciation for all of the Police, Firemen and Paramedics that lost there lives or went missing during the events of 9/11.
The Brooklyn Bridge.
A view from the Empire State Building.
Fortune Cookies from China town! (white balance is a bit off in the last photograph, I know!)
'Top of the Rock' from the top of the Rockefeller Centre at night
Finally, Central Park. I found the memorial benches really beautiful, especially the 'Will you marry me?' bench. My trip to New York taught me that they really are the surviving city and going to Ground Zero was a very surreal experience but I'm glad I did it because going there helped me understand a bit more about the effect it had on the City and the rest of the world. New York is a great experience, and I would tell anyone to visit if they could, but I would also say that it is one of these places you have to see for yourself and make your own mind up about.
