2973

While I was in New Jersey visiting some family this weekend we stumbled upon this 9/11 memorial in Atlantic Highlands. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge and the New York City skyline can be seen from the park where this memorial is located.

The sculpture is an eagle carrying a twisted piece of steel from the World Trade Center towers. I grabbed a hold of the steel beam and plucked it like a guitar string. It held a high note for about 10 seconds while I stared at it and remembered that day.

The path leading to the memorial has markers for the significant times of that morning.
