RENOVATION:
Tourists get their first glance as they approach
the intersection where so much business once took
place, the site of the Twin Towers destroyed in
2001. One local commented on the minimal tourism
aspects, "They didn't want to make this a tourist
attraction." / Photos by Jacob Fullmer |

The
World Trade Center site is still under construction
over half a decade after the initial attacks. Five
towers will be built to replace the two famous towers
along with various buildings damaged during the
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. |

Two
tourists take a rainy day to view the remains of
"The Sphere" which once sat in the center
of the World Trade Center Plaza. It is the only
piece of art to survive the collapse of the towers.
Now resting in Battery Park a few blocks from its
original home, it stands as a reminder what America's
strength and hope. |

At
151 feet 1 inch high, the Statue of Liberty stands
as an icon to all Americans of taking the light
of Liberty forth in a dangerous world. |
