I visited the 9/11 Memorial. It was an emotional experience, more affecting than I expected; like seeing a deeply holy place. No more writing now....just photos and some captions.

| Canvas signs line the streets making it easy to find |
 | |
| A heavy police presence |
 | |
| Security lines and screening like the airport...several checkpoints follow |
 |
| The visitor's pass...keep it out, it will be checked again and again |
 |
| First view...a beautiful, serene place |
 | |
| Reflecting absence...the bottom of the center pool is always out of view |
 |
| The names of victims from the airliners are placed along the parapet where the planes hit the buildings |

| Each pool covers an acre, the sound of the water dampens city noise |
 |
| Aerial view looking West |

| Cobbles and tiles for the walks are cut from the Trade Center's granite |
