World Trade Center Redux

One block off Broadway...

The cranes, the rebuilding and from the ashes, new buildings on the World Trade Center site. Yes, it's almost twelve years and the scars are still painful, but buildings rise and our life in New York continues.  

This picture is taken from Broadway. 

The steeple of St. Paul's Chapel to the right, and the flag of the Episcopal Church, center.

It seemed we would never get to this point, but we have, thanks to many people's efforts. The buildings rise!

Wishes for a Wonderful Sunday!

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever...

 Out to the harbor...

 ...and to New Jersey 

Wedding weekend has been wonderful. Joy, laughter and lots of love! I spent yesterday with friends -- including a friend visiting from California for the festivities -- and did some touring downtown. The view was extraordinary. 

The other part of the view is the World Trade Center site. Work is going on daily -- even Sundays of a holiday weekend -- and the background noise is the sound of jackhammers.

Out of the ashes, the city continues.

Wedding weekend continues tonight with the wedding of my colleague's daughter. I've known her since she was four and I know it will be a lovely evening.

I'll be back tomorrow before I leave for the airport. Wishing everyone a great Monday!
