            <text>My thoughts

I was flipping through the pictures on this website and I had to e-mail to say I LOVE this one. (image 1621)  To think they could be higher than the clouds! I found this website through Parade magazine .  Excellent pictures!

This photo has moved me beyond words.  To me it symbolizes all those souls who died that awful day in Sept 2001.  The towers in the Heavens, so quiet, so peacful, so untouchable. I find comfort in this photo.

            <text>Our 2 Towers

 In 1990 , the day before I moved from away from NYC, I stood on the observation deck of the North Tower and watched the clouds float by.  I thought, "How great is man to build a structure as tall at the sky." Our glorious towers. This photo will hang from my wall until the day I die.

Ich denke das auf keinem anderen Bild die wahre größe dieser Gebäude besser dargestellt wird.&#13;
Man sollte sie so wieder aufbauen wie sie waren.

I´m from Munich/Germany. This is a picture who touch my heart! A amazing photo from the WTC. It symbolizes all those souls who died and the Heaven where they live.&#13;

I´m so sad about this terrible Day... the 9/11.&#13;

I am from Oklahoma City. I don't understand how people can do such a thing? My life has been forever changed as like the rest of America. This photo is breath taking. It looks like it was peeking up to Heaven, just to try and say hello. God bless the U.S.A. and the World!!

            <text>Cloud Towers

I love this photo- the towers look like they've got the whole world to themselves. I have to wonder if anyone on the roof might have seen the 'aviator's halo' (a round rainbow) around their shadows on the clouds? Now THAT would be a photo to treasure!&#13;

            <text>Wow

I saw a documentary on "here is new york" on television and I searched the web to view this specific photograph. It is the best photograph I have ever seen (of any subject) and since I make a living as a photographer I have viewed a lot of photographs! &#13;
&#13;
I only wish I would have found this site before they stopped selling prints. I would love to buy a copy of this print.
