Unfortunately, I only really appreciated the magnificence of the Twin Towers after they were gone. I keep going through old photos from my two trips to NYC as a tourist and then the ones over the two years we were lucky enough to live there. I wish I'd taken more shots of all the smaller details. To think I'll never have that opportunity again, it's one of the biggest reasons I appreciate my surroundings so much more today.
I thought I'd share with you the ones I did take and that are special to me.
My thoughts and love are with everyone who lost someone special. May your heart be slowly mending. Px
Our Wedding day. December 18, 1997. We were married at City Hall and we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to take these shots. I couldn't imagine these photos without the World Trade Center in the background.
Walking back together on the Brooklyn Bridge
One of my favourite shots
Hard to see it, but this is actually a 3-D photo
Another favourite. I used the towers so many times a day to orientate myself, especially as I popped out of the subway station The photos below are from our first trip to NYC in 1993. Tim and I knew then, we'd one day live there
The plaza outside the front of the towers was a cold and sterile place. This was taken on our first trip in 1993
