These pictures were all taken on the day the World Trade Center collapsed, except for the ones at the end marked "Day2", which are the following evening, and the first three, which were from last October, so you can see where the WTC used to be on my balcony. Pictures marked with an "X" after the number are those I thought were especially worth taking a look at. I got as close as the corner of John and William, only 4 downtown blocks from where the World Trade Center used to be. See picture #37. I walked around for over 5 hours, mostly looking for alleyways and side streets so I could slip past police barricades, frequently being turned back. I also went out to the Brooklyn Bridge to get a view of the whole skyline. Here's a catalog of all the pictures, since the names may be cut off by your browser. 001X- My Balcony- WTC Last October.jpg 002- My Balcony- WTC at dusk last October.jpg 003- My Balcony- WTC at night last October.jpg 004X- The new view from my balcony.jpg 005X- The new view from my balcony.jpg 006X- The new view from my balcony.jpg 007- The new view from my balcony.jpg 008- Soho.jpg 009- Soho.jpg 010- Soho.jpg 011- Soho.jpg 012- Tribeca.jpg 013- Tribeca.jpg 014- Tribeca.jpg 015X- Tribeca.jpg 016- Tribeca.jpg 017- Fireman.jpg 018- Police car with light ash.jpg 019X- Tribeca Smoke and sunlight.jpg 020- Tribeca.jpg 021- Emergency vehicle trailing smoke.jpg 022- Chinatown.jpg 023X- Downtown.jpg 024- Police tracking ash.jpg 025- Sun blotted out by smoke.jpg 026- Downtown.jpg 027- Ash covered cars.jpg 028- Downtown afternoon not dusk.jpg 029- Downtown FedEx Truck.jpg 030X- Ash covered brick road.jpg 031X- breathing through kerchiefs.jpg 032X- WTC was 5 blocks straight ahead.JPG 033- Downtown Ash on Mailbox.jpg 034- Downtown- Thick smoke.jpg 035- Downtown- tagged ash covered car.jpg 036X- Downtown- Ash covered car I tagged.jpg 037X- ME at JOHN and WILLIAM 4 blocks in front of WTC.jpg 038X- Downtown- In front of a hospital.jpg 039- Downtown- Pace University.jpg 040- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 041X- Bridge- Sunlight through smoke.jpg 042- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 043- Brooklyn Bridge- Skyline.jpg 044- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 045- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 046X- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 047X- Bridge- Thick smoke from Tower 7.jpg 048- Bridge- Very thick smoke.jpg 049X- Bridge- Very thick smoke.jpg 050- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 051- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 052- Brooklyn Bridge.jpg 053X- Downtown- like walking on the moon.jpg 054- Downtown- Flash catches dust in the air.jpg 055- Downtown- 4 blocks downwind from WTC.jpg 056X- Downtown- No power.jpg 057- Wall Street.jpg 058X- Downtown- Not Christmas.jpg 059X- Receipt that survived.jpg 060X- Day2- Washington Square Vigil.jpg 061X- Day2- Washington Square Vigil.jpg 062X- Day2- Washington Square Vigil.jpg 063- Day2- Washington Square Vigil.jpg 064- Day2- Washington Square Vigil.jpg 065- Day2- 5 AV is closed.jpg 066X- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 067- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 068X- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 069X- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 070X- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 071- Day2 Union Square Vigil.jpg 072X- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg 073- Day2- Union Square Vigil.jpg Take care everybody, David
