Very creative and thoughtful interpretation of the theme. The cloudy day just added to the mood of the theme, too. Great shot, I love how the straight lines seem to jump out 🙂
It does seem like only yesterday, Dianne. I visited the memorial just after it opened in 2011, and was profoundly affected by seeing those names etched in the edges. I did find the whole environment tranquil, but then I did not lose anyone in 9/11, or personally know anyone who lost someone in the tragedy. I wondered, then, how those who did felt about the disaster-tourism nature of the memorial.
Reflections, indeed. Water so soothing, those names so hard to read. When I last visited, they were working on the site and visitors could not get to it. In the disaster/tourism vein, I believe the prevailing attitude is one of profound respectfulness and a need to remember.

Clever persective
Thanks.
Like the way you addressed the photo challenge.
Thanks, Charles.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 1/2 years.
It is, Nancy.
very interesting and beautiful dual image
Thank you, Ben.
Reflections in more ways than one …
And for me, too, in a strange kind of way. Thanks, Col.
stillness, reflection, both ways, nice one 🙂
Thanks, Christine.
Excellent 😀 That photo is crying out for a haiku – I will ponderate!
I’m waiting… 🙂 I know you will do it justice. But batten down the hatches, first, Gabe. Looks like Ita’s going to be a bitch 😦
I’ve had a think and can’t seem to get there – I think it’s because I wasn’t there at the memorial so have no real memory of the photo – never mind!
😘
Beautiful image.
Thank you.

Thank you , Mabel. The memorial had a profound effect on me.
It’s the first time I’ve seen this memorial – very tranquil. It’s seems like only yesterday…

Indeed, BB. They are so much more than just light reflecting back at one, aren’t they?
Yes, Kate. The enormity of human deeds…

I think so, Monica. The space has that effect on the visitors. It’s quiet and peaceful.
What a lovely photo, BB.
Thank you, Adee.
