by I thought I would show how One World Trade Center is coming along. The comparison view is not the same alas, but you get the idea. I took this yesterday from the cemetery behind St. Paul’s Chapel. You can see the different by comparing 1WTC to the building on its right.
This was in August, 2011.
I think that unless you’ve stood right in front of it, it’s hard to appreciate the staggeringness of this building. It’s really wonderful. Please keep posting pics.
I was initially opposed to this site being built as it is, because I loved the twin towers from the time that I was a kid. I watched the world trade center being built back in the sixties, and had a fondness for it. The new world trade center is going to be awesome, and I think that Minuro Yamasaki would be proud of what has been done, and what this site will look like when it is finished.
