WTC - Pre 9/11

The Childhood Memory photo

I was three or five and we took a boat cruise, and this is where my mother took a photo of WTC from this side of the building, full-forward facing with more of the sea and that path/bridge practically invisible- 25 years ago in the summer of 1975 or 77. As it's so close to the pic I already had which was from some old 126/110 camera, this is the one I'll buy.

I don't remember going up inside the towers as my Mother tells me we did with my aunt and now I can't ever go again. The same Aunt was grounded in London for a week unable to get home as of 9/11 and unable to contact her son and daughter, my cousins, for a few days. But I'll check and see if there's a comment space in the forums as I'm losing it seeing the two shots together (one on this site where I'm posting and the other on my desktop.) This and my other favourite state in flames in the same year (Arizona)- but AZ seemed to be climate change not mass murder (don't call it a tragedy, don't call it a disaster, call it a massacre because that's what it was and is- avoid the euphimisms).
