it wasn't until i was in hoboken, looking over the hudson and onto the manhattan skyline that i really remembered what day it was.on the northern end of the picture is the empire state building. it has been the tallest thing in this skyline for the past 9 years - except on the anniversary of septemeber 11th. on that day, past dusk, two beams of light shoot up in the air, symbolically marking the space the towers occupied.
there is something comforting about seeing those beams of light in the sky. partly because they are visible from any part of the city, and partly because traditions are important - remembering is important.
