A Look Back

Although only visiting New York on a few occasions, the absence of the Twin Towers from the city's skyline is clearly evident. The lack of the towers in the skyline has become a symbol of the post-9/11 world we live in.

Here's a gallery with pictures taken of these iconic buildings before 9/11. I particularly enjoy photos 8 and 3. Photo #8 does a great job of putting you (the viewer) there in the scene. And then in photo #3, the color and composition are beautiful. With a building this tall, it would almost only make sense to choose a vertical composition, but the horizontal 'slice' of the tower in this image proves to be quite compelling visually.
