    Beautiful shot.

    I don't think I'll every get used to the empty space where the towers once stood. . . .

    Thanks for the comment. The hole is rather obvious from this viewpoint, for sure...

    When was this shot?

    I hope I'm not missing this beautiful (looking) weather in the city for this cold snap at home!

    Haha, no, this was shot in November, don't worry! Although my friend in NYC said it's amazing there at the moment, like spring...

    Thanks! Curiously, this shot is (almost) directly out of the camera. What made a really big difference was using a polarising filter, the conditions were exactly right for it. So I adjusted the black and white points (which upped the saturation a little, but not much), and that was it!

    Um, I'm not sure what you mean by the PA, but I didn't have any hassles except for damn tourists jostling for position :D
