Towering Specter

Towering Specter by gaspi *your guide.
I worked downtown NYC many years and was eyewitness to the 9/11/2001 attack. The Towers were my photographic neighbor and this series is my heartfelt salute to them... Taken from the corner of Liberty and Church Streets.

Hi - I'm working with the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and have been looking around Flickr for images. We just started a new group - National September 11 Memorial & Museum - and we'd love it if you'd share some of your photos.

Thanks very much,

Excellent counterpoint between the curved stairwell and the straight building. Near-flawless choice of vantage point, and the ascending figure is a nice accent.
