Rebirth of a Giant

When people have seen my pano of ground zero they always want to know where the twin towers were and what it is going to look look when it is all done.

The two images below were taken from the current memorial plaza across from the Hilton on Church Street. The top image shows the block where the twin towers actually stood and the park that will encompass that same block. The footprint of the towers will be a set of waterfalls into obvious what is a tribute pond where the towers once stood.

The second image is of the simplified engineering plans for the entire rebuild of the area as many of the surrounding buildings had to come down due to the damage they received when the towers came down.

As far as the how to of these images; They were taken looking up and use of the perspective, and warp function of free transform took care of the shape. Levels and curves was al that was needed to richen up the look of the images.

Enough for now, it's late.
