This is extremely similar to the view I had of what remained of the WTC when I visited New York in late September 2001. It was of staggering proportions.

Thursday, July 5th, 2007Terrorism in NY
Thursday, July 5th, 2007 
Strangely, photos like this make the terrorism that happened in New York seem more real to me than the ones we are used to. This appears to be a chair that hit a BMW after the planes hit the WTC.
Amazing.

Photos of Kenmare
Sunday, July 31st, 2005Always interesting to find a headstone with one’s family name on it.
Or this holy well beside the beach, with trinkets and beads tied to the holly bush above it. One note put there with a 2p piece on it had a wish from children asking St Finian if they could fly someday. Maybe I should have put a wish to win €112 million in the Lotto.

Snow photos
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005Rannie’s latest photos are just completely amazing. Oh when will I be able to take photos like that?
This earlier one is a picture of a snowy tundra, yet looks like a scene from hell. Cold and hot at the same time. Keep it up Rannie!
B&W
Tuesday, February 15th, 2005I was struck by this photo, one I don’t remember seeing before. I am always struck by photos of this nature, I think because this happened in ‘modern’ times it makes it more real. But photos from the First or Second World Wars also show people who are about to die, and you know they are about to. I think the ‘immediacy’ of older photos is lost, but they are essentially showing the same subject – inevitable death. And death does come to us all eventually.
Perhaps photos like this remind me of my own mortality, and I know when I look at this photo that hundreds of people were alive when it was taken, but moments later were dead. I think the space between the plane and the building demonstrates how short life can be, how little time we have here, and how precious each moment is. So I do not think this photo morbid, instead it gives me solice, and makes me reflect on my own life and how I treat people as I go through it.
