I usually get back to Brooklyn after work
and don't linger in the city. But if I hadn't been out
with a friend the other night I would have
missed this sight—from a couple of miles uptown,
we could see these two blue beams shining up into the
night sky from the site of the Trade Towers
and this shot was taken by City Hall,
about six blocks from Ground Zero.
