As a resident of New York City, I continually venture out on the anniversary of 9/11 and photograph the twin beams that shine toward heaven to remind us of that day... a day that most of us will never forget. This shot was taken in front of the New York Stock Exchange, another symbol of the strength and ingenuity of the American people. Photo taken by Steven Greaves (Estados Unidos) - Artistic/Creative
