Week 4: P52 Sweet Shot Tuesday

The new Garmin GPS took me home to Brooklyn through the Lincoln Tunnel and NYC instead of Staten Island. I'm not a fan of driving through the city, ever. There are tourists who don't drive well and yellow cab drivers who don't drive well. It's very stressful driving. The one thing I didn't mind about this trip was getting to pass by the Freedom Tower. ( I refuse to call it by its new name, One World Trade Center) I've watched this building go up slowly over the past several years. It really is beautiful and I can't wait to see it finished. 

I took this photo while stopped at a light on the West Side Hwy.
She's come along way since this photo was taken December 2010

  1. LOVE this, Janine. My oldest son graduated from the USMMA at Great Neck. Over the 4 years he was a midshipmen there, we visited NYC frequently, beginning with 2 days before 9-11. We visited ground zero many times, but he graduated in '05. We've only returned to NYC once since then and will probably not have the opportunity to visit again. I love seeing the progress through the lens of others. Thank you.

  3. Great pictures of an emotionally charged building. I agree with you about driving through the city I would much prefer not to.
