New pictures, as promised. These were taken two days ago, and in spite of the sun, it was only a degree or two above freezing and really breezy. To the left is the new walkway that used to be cracked and crumbly. You can see they've made progress with the structure that had a crane on top of it last fall, and most of the equipment on the new Chambers Street pier is gone in the lower photo. The river was especially shallow that day; take a another look at the pier posts barely sticking out of the water in yesterday's image and compare it to the one below. And for the record, for those who do not live in New York, the World Trade Center Towers were in the wide empty space between those two new buildings, and were at least twice as high as anything else around them.

  1. I never get tired of looking at pictures of New York. Next to Paris, New York is my favorite city in the world. I could pick up and move there in a -- New York minute -- *heh* I visited the World Trade Centers before they were knocked down, and I loved the Trinity Church nearby. What a lovely part of New York that is!

    Lucky you...!
