There are some days when living in New York City feels like living in a tight-knit community. Today is one of those days. Even though I didn’t live here that day and can’t fathom the horrors some New Yorkers witnessed, there is a quiet on this day every year that I feel.

This is One World Trade as seen from 7th Avenue in the West Village. As the tower grew and grew over the years, I had never taken a photo of it until a night back in July after dinner club. For some reason that night it was just beautiful. And I was lucky I had my camera. If there was ever a day to share it with you, I think today is that day.
