More Sight Seeing - New York

Our last full day in the city and we filled it with some fun sights but also some solemn ones. We visited the top of the Empire State Building today. It was such a hot day that most of my photos were hazy. Hopefully Photoshop magic will help some. Visited the New York Stock Exchange, New York Times, Rockefeller Center, Central Park and the 911 Memorial. I took very few photos here as it felt disrespectful. It was quiet but powerful. I did capture the entrance to the new Transportation Center that is being constructed on the site. The shape was explained to us as both angel’s wings and dove’s wings. Whichever it is, it is beautiful. I also photographed the new One World Trade Center. It was so strange to see the new skyline. It is forever changed but stronger. The last photo I threw in here is just for fun and to me a humorous commentary on the NYC attitude.
