Pics from New York

Finally got some pics from New York uploaded. Including the pics that really made the reality of the World Trade Center tragedy hit home for me. Yeah, there’s a couple of pics of the area, from a distance, with the smoke still rising, and the damaged buildings around it, but it’s the pics from a Police Substation and a firehouse that had the pictures of the men they lost posted outside. Those are the ones that really make you stop and look, and realize just how much was lost that day, by so many families. My heart goes out to them, and I hope they know that these men died as heroes in every sense of the word.

    So much for being the dedicated photographer. Last night, I had plans to meet up with a friend, and take in some of the bands at the Dublin Irish Festival.
