9/11 Memorial

9/11 Memorial : World Trade Center / Ground Zero : New York, NY

On Wednesday, we went to the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site. The new Freedom Tower has reached 50% of its height. The memorial itself is peaceful and thought-provoking. On Panel S75 is the engraving for Scott Alan Powell, the brother of a former colleague of my sister's, Art Powell.

View from the Top of the Rock

The Empire State Building and the new World Trade Center, as seen
from the top of Rockefeller Center : New York, NY

We went to the top of Rockefeller Center and this was the view. Notice just to the right of the Empire State Building the rising tower of the new World Trade Center. I believe it's more than halfway to its full height of 1,776 feet.

A side trip to the Big Apple -- New York City -- to purchase photography equipment at BandH. This is also Maya's first trip to NYC, so we'll take in some sights, too!
