Freedom Tower New York City

Description

The Freedom Tower, still not complete, sits in the location of the World Trade Center Towers. At first I thought it was a cliche to include the grave markers in the foreground and it still might be. The cemetery is part of St.Paul's Chapel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul… one of the oldest in New York and a place that offered months of refuge to those who were involved in the recovery of the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers. The chapel still has presentation displays of messages of support, hope and condolence from 9/11 and many visitors still leave notes - - many for those who died. Though all of the buildings which were this close to the collapsing towers were damaged, the Chapel and all of its windows were untouched and saved by these trees that caught the flying debris. So, its the trees - - not the grave stones - - that belong here as an audience to the construction.
