 Photograph of "The World Trade Towers" from Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

 

 I came across this old photograph taken from Ellis Island with New York City and the "The World Trade Towers" in the back ground.

 This photograph was taken around 1982 when I spent one week in Manhattan with John Robert Powers Modeling Agency, and I have no idea who this goofy looking guy is that jumped into the photograph.

 I decided to share some of my other photographs that were taken with the photo above. These photographs were taken from small prints I found in a old photo album so there very blurry, but you can get a feel for the moment.

 I did go up to the observation deck of the the "The World Trade Towers" and the views of New York City were breath-taking. I never thought in a million years that they would ever be destroyed by Terrorists.

 These photos are 28 years old and when I look at them I remember a wonderful fun time in my life.

           When I look at this photo (below) it saddens me to think that "The World Trade Towers" are gone!

What wonderful pictures...they truly depict what our country stands for.  It is such a shame that our government is allowing a Mosque to be built so close to the former site.  It is a slap in the face.

Powerful photos. Love the photo of Statue of Liberty and we miss the twin towers as part of NYC skyline.

I get very sad when I see L&O and other tv shows with the twin towers in them...it is a tragedy that the re-construction on the site has not been completed!!
