World Trade Center Remembered

Flickr: World Trade Center

This was taken on September 7th 1999, nearly 2 years to the day before hand, from the observation deck on the Empire State Building, during my first and currently only trip to New York City.

It’s weird to look at nowadays, very ominous with the top of the twin towers surrounded by clouds, also because I’m shit scared of heights, and I remember that I had to literally inch my way towards the fencing around the edge so I could take the picture. Apologies for the crap quality, it was taken pre-digital with a disposable camera.
