These are great images , and although it may still be a sensitive issue for you guys in The States I really miss seeing the Towers , it must be hard to get use to for people that live there , may the victims rest in peace . Fantastic work , and well appreciated

I tried to drive by there a few weeks ago but everything was blocked off. I don't know what was going on they had almost all of the area closed.

Sparkie, great set here .. can I ask what that is past the bridge in the last shot? is it some kind of mechanical waterfall?

Fantastic clarity and crispness. I love the entire effect of the light in the daytime shots, with the dark clouds in the background.If it hadn't been for the Brooklyn Bridge, I couldn't have guessed that is NYC.

What a fantastic set, the dusk shots with the lights are great. Although what bradzo said about the towers is right, that skyline will never seem the same again. May we always remember all those we lost. Thanks for sharing a fantasic set.

That is another waterfall. It was part of the Waterfall Project they set up four waterfalls along the river. Here is another image of the waterfall from the Manhattan side of the river.

Thanks for the comments
Frank

PS The first two images were taken while I was driving on the BQE highway at about 40 miles per hour.
