Waiting for Warm Weather

Some place with palm trees.

Tropical flowers.

Soaring into the clouds.

National September 11 Memorial & Museum

Visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum on a cold wintery day. The site is amazing but nothing compared to the way it was before 2001.

Reflecting pool
A few of the many names
Tossing coins is against the rules but many did anyway.
Waterfall
The tower being made.
Quiet day
The park is quite small.
The museum.
Big security gates.
Kiosks giving a face to the names.
Pennies get tossed at the base of the trees instead of the pools.
South Pool.
Commemorative bike.

Grant's Tomb

I'm back from the grave...well tomb.
General Grant National Memorial is on my bucket list of places to visit in NYC and it was wonderful, in a respectful way.

Started off at Columbia University and the class of 2014 just left.

Grant's Tomb

Learnt my history.

Classic art framing peace message.

Modern art framing nothing.

I think they're empty.

Wit there are some stars missing.

Rotunda!

Not a gift shop item.

Marvelous marble.

Nice day outside, I need to do this again.
