My apartment is a few blocks south of the WTC site. I've lived in NYC since May 2001. I've been in this apartment since 2005 and been able to watch the progress of the construction. As you probably already know, they planted the first crop of trees for the Memorial park this past winter. Those trees have started to bloom. I glanced out my window this evening to see them catching the light from the sunset. The moment struck me, so I decided to capture it in the attached photo. Given the events of the week, I suppose I found a bit of poetry in the scene. I hope you enjoy it.
Below is a very recent photo of the emerging Freedom Tower:
