Perhaps if you'll send me more pictures I'll put up a side bar so that vistors to Heigh-ho can understand what you see everyday and why you can never forget.spd rdrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543431460609915876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-1120652890421856112005-07-06T08:28:00.000-04:002005-07-06T08:28:00.000-04:00Here's a photo of the Sphere.Here's a photo of the <A HREF="http://www.geog.nau.edu/courses/alew/ggr346/ft/midatlantic/newyork/images/1-batt-park-ball.jpg" REL="nofollow">Sphere.</A>portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-1120651025861659532005-07-06T07:57:00.000-04:002005-07-06T07:57:00.000-04:00Wonderful story, spd.

For those of us who work downtown, the sight of St. Paul's chapel--the little church that could--standing defiant and proud amidst the destruction all around it offered a powerful message of hope and <A HREF="http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0209/st_pauls/online_extra.html" REL="nofollow"> resilency</A><BR/><BR/>From our office windows in downtown Manhattan, we look out on the huge bronze Sphere sculpture--now a Memorial-- that once stood in the center of the World Trade Center plaza, and which except for some twisted metal and visible dings, miraculously suffered little damage on that horrific Tuesday. Shortly after 9/11, the City relocated the Sphere to its memorial site in Battery Park, and an eternal flame was added "in honor of all those who were lost." Regrettably, the Sphere tribute is often overlooked by tourists who venture to Ground Zero but for me it stands tall as a powerful, emotionally charged symbol and as the plaque states "endures as an icon of hope and the indestructible spirit of this country."<BR/><BR/>Like the sycamore tree, sometimes it's the simple things that tell a story best.portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-1120644288557603322005-07-06T06:04:00.000-04:002005-07-06T06:04:00.000-04:00Nothing sappy about that Cass.Thanks for sharing.Nothing sappy about that Cass.<BR/>Thanks for sharing.spd rdrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543431460609915876noreply@blogger.com
