After the twin towers fell and all the debris, smoke and dust cleared away the one thing left standing unharmed was a Bradford Pear Tree. A symbol that all is not lost and that there is still hope. This is that tree at the Ground Zero Memorial.

Ground Zero Memorial December 2011
Anyone making a trip to New York should definitely visit the Ground Zero Memorial. Today's sunshine with temps in the upper 50's made for the perfect day for us to visit the 9/11 memorial. There are two pools known as the North and South pools with a wall of names surrounding each pool. Although there were a lot of people visiting at the memorial today the atmosphere was one of peace and serenity. You have to go through a security check at the memorial entrance where you had to take off coats and belts and place them in the basket along with your cell phones, cameras, and handbags which were also checked via camera just like at the airports. There were several checkpoints you went through walking to the memorial which required you to show them your access pass before finally getting to the memorial itself. Here are some of the pictures I took while there.
