ReplyDeleteIt's one of those occasions when you can remember exactly where you were when you found out.
ReplyDeleteThat day the world changed forever. But there will be something new there, again. And a new postcard to tell that life and good is not over yet...
ReplyDeleteVery true Ludovico. Life must go on, and be seen to go on.

ReplyDeleteThat was my minute of silence while it is today the anniversary of what truly was a tragic moment. Nevertheless, life moved on, as it goes on, and with these pictures you remind as that there are a lot of things still worth looking at. Nice postcard of what is once was
I put up my own Twin Towers postcard on my site as well. It was from 1980, and yet my dad wrote the most fitting note on it. I had thought about telling my own 9/11 story since I was/am living in NYC at the time, but I thought I'd let the postcard stand alone, it was testament enough.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, beautiful postcard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog :) I hope to see you again soon! I will be sure to visit yours. I'm enjoying it immensely :)
