great shot Chris! I worked 3 blocks from WTC for 22 years -- will never forget "that day."
Chris Lord replied:
Very kind of you to leave a nice comment - twice! :-) Thank you doubly much, Bill. Very pleased that you escaped unscathed that awful day. Cheers

Chris --great creation Chris! I was in my office on 9/11 (the building over the ferry terminal --right side of picture). That day will be with me forever.

Congrats on your sale Chris! What a wonderful vintage piece. So wonderful to see the Towers.I'll never forget the first time I went to NYC a few months after 9/11, seeing that empty skyline driving in made us all cry. This is a great tribute! L/F
Chris Lord replied:
Being an oldster is useful sometimes as it gives me a huge backlog of images to go back to. This one has been a permanent favorite of mine and has seen versions through all kinds of tech changes over the years. Happy you liked this version. Thank you. I miss these building too. I especially enjoyed going up to the open roof and spending time looking out over the city. It was so quiet and peaceful up there. I took their destruction as a personal affront. Cheers

Dynamic shot Chris.. Congrats on your sale. :))
Chris Lord replied:
One of the advantages of being an oldtimer is that you can go back to the past and resurrect things! :-) Glad you enjoyed this one Glenn, thanks very much. Cheers
