September 11

Saturday marked the 9th anniversary of the attacks on the United States. Once again, in New York, a Tribute in Light was illuminated marking the site of the World Trade Center, in memory of those lost on that day.

Having photographed the tribute several years from different vantage points, this year I went to the Staten Island September 11 Memorial. The memorial is on the shore, overlooking New York harbor and facing the site of the towers. A memorial service is held at the site, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg attending this year's service.

This ceremonial fire bell was rung following the reading of names of Staten Island victims.
