nine eleven

With today marking the sixth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attack on America, I went back and looked at some pictures I took while vacationing in New York this summer. I really expected to be overcome with emotion while visiting Ground Zero. But I wasn't. It was hard to feel anything because the towers are gone and what is left is a fenced-in construction zone. Every picture or scene I had been exposed to for the past six years was one-dimensional. Seeing the site in 3-D could not bring it to life for me.


This is Trinity Church, located across the street from the Twin Towers. I wonder how many people have entered this church looking for answers.


As dark and depressing as those days were on this side of the TV, no amount of emotion could be compared to what was experienced on those streets.
