The foundation of the "Freedom Tower" is being constructed. It looks like A complicated operation. Tons of concrete are being poured. It is a slow process.

The famous World Trade Center Stairway now sits on the West side of the site.

On March 11, 2008 I had an interview for a Principal Court Clerk position in the NYC Civil Court. Before the interview, I visited "Ground Zero". After the interview, I walked from Chinatown up to 52nd Street and Broadway. In passing, I took photos in Chinatown (above photo), SoHo, the Village, and Times Square and Broadway. There was a fire in a boiler room in a building on 48th Street and 9th Ave. I was nearby, so I took some apparatus photos. On my way back to the train, I took a couple of photo's of an FDNY Ambulance on 42nd Street.

The old cast iron buildings in Soho make for great photos.
 |
I used the zoom lens to make the fire escapes and objects appear closer to each other.
 |
These two SoHo buildings are painted pink, an interesting color for a building.

New York City has its own "Rainbow Row" in the Village.
