Ground Zero

This has to be one of the most dramatic hotel check-in's I have ever experienced. As we got to our room on the 19th floor of the Millennium Hilton in lower Manhattan on the afternoon of the 21st we would be privileged enough to view on of the most solemn view we as Americans can ever experience in recent history. That of the devastation of Ground Zero.

To stand there and imagine the buildings standing erect one minute, being maliciously attacked another, then to burn out of control until their final collapse. What a site... The thought of thousands of innocent people going out into eternity, falling, being crushed, or even jumping to their demise just leaves one speechless.

While this image is an assembly of eighteen individual shots, I was again taken back when I saw the final image generated in Photoshop. What a sight to behold... In the most reverent and 

respectful manor.

I'll just leave it at that.
