Looking south from Manhattan across the East River to Brooklyn and Queens.

New Jersey

Sun, 05 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Uptown

'Ground Zero ' was a sombre spot despite the tourist paraphernalia surrounding it.

Even a building such as this, where people were treated like sheep - lined up and given a chalk mark if they didn't meet the selection criteria, were built to be works of art.
