A Photo a Week Challenge: Gateways…

For gateways I’m using photos taken at the Central Railroad of NJ Terminal at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ

The Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal was the railroads waterfront passenger terminal in Jersey City, NJ. The terminal was built in 1889, replacing an earlier one that had been in use since 1864. It operated until April 30, 1967.

9/11 – 20th Anniversary…

The 9/11 Empty Sky Memorial, Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey

The 749 victims’ names from the State of New Jersey face one another on the interior elevations of the twin brushed stainless steel walls within easy reach. The walls channel visitors to the location in the Manhattan skyline where the former World Trade Center towers once stood.

Remembering, honoring and never forgetting the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shiny…

What is guaranteed to distract you? What is your “Ooh, shiny!”?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn’t know what to do for ‘Shiny’ and then today my daughter and I took a ride to Jersey City, NJ to have coffee and enjoy the view.  Talk about shiny.  The shiny glass buildings reflecting the sky and other buildings, definitely shiny.
