It's the faces that tell the story here. This is the World Trade Center viewing site on Liberty Street, where there is a walkway and a metal fence that viewers can look through to see the 9/11 site. The view through the fence now looks like any other construction site in New York, except that it is not, of course. It is sobering to watch the faces of so many of the people viewing the site. Some take a picture or two through the fence. Many simply fall silent, and stand there looking, rooted to the spot. Here and there along the fence there are flowers that visitors have placed into the fence in memoriam. It is a sobering place to visit, even all these years later.
