Ground Zero



- everybody heard on the news about the devastation that resulted from the attacks on 9/11
- as difficult it was to hear about, and see the various imagery on the tv screens and front pages of all the papers, it is nothing to the overwhelming feeling that you get when you arrive at ground zero even though it has been years since it happened. 
- what you can see through the small gaps in all of the netted fences is nothing but upsetting. You never can quite grasp the sheer size of it all until you are there and can see it for yourself.
- facts and figures that adorn the small boards that have been erected to not only provide information on the past, but also to inform people of the plans for the commemorative gardens that are to be built in the space. After the debate of what should fill the space, I feel the future plans are very fitting.
