Today was my day off as you might remember and waking up feeling prettin lousy I still decided I would head to the city and try to take some pictures. I took a train or kind of a subway from Newark Penn Station directly downtown to World Trade Center. The picture included today is of the WTC juting up toward the sky and this was the first picture I took today and it has a small story behind it. Suggestion if you some to New York and come down to the WTC before you take your camera you might want to just have a small conversation with the NYCP as if you don't they will have one with you when your camera comes out. Not a big deal I fully understand and I had a really nice chat with the young NYCP officer that come and talked to me. He was very nice and we ended up talking mostly about photography and particulary about the lense I was using and some other general stuff. Once he figured I was just a run of the mill guy working out of town I could shoot all the picture I want. So this is the reason I chose to show the first picture I took after having my conversation with the NYCP. I wondered around pretty much all over and realizing you are in the part of the world right at this moment that pretty much makes the world turn. Seeing the World Mercantile building the Stock Exchange and the numerous other buildings just in this area that makes the world run. Speaking of running the world you should see the size of the Topps Baseball cards building.....

Seeing where the Twin Towers were at one time it actually makes it hard to believe that alot of other building weren't destroy they are so close together. Like right beside the World Trade Center this building in the picture.

By the way so you will know I truly am in New York there will be a picture of the Statue Of Liberty coming soon.

I would like to also add I feel like the trip to the city was really worth while I found a drug store and talked with the nice pharmacist and bout what he suggested to try to get rid of this cold or make it tolerable. OK till later
