9/11 Memorial Plaza

Approaching 1 World Trade Center from Battery Park City.

Looking up at  1 WTC from within the Memorial Plaza. This tree of hope, aptly named The Survivor Tree, stands tall in the WTC Plaza, it is said to be the only tree on the grounds that survived the devastation of 9/11. It was nurtured to good health afterwards and now is a symbol of perseverance in the face of tragedy. Read more here: http://911memorial.org/survivor-tree

There are two reflecting pools in the Plaza representing the North and the South Towers.

The rim of the reflecting pools are engraved witht the names of those who died on 9/11

 

 

I took these photos during a lunch hour on my cell phone. The grounds are awesomely impressive and tragically beautiful.
