One World Trade Center, Fog

This is the new building under construction which is known as "One World Trade Center." I believe the steel structure is finished, but the exterior cladding is not done yet. At the time of its completion in 2013, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height, with its spire reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet in reference to the year of American independence. More simply known as "1 WTC," it has been the tallest building in New York City since April 30, 2012. It was really interesting to see it disappear into the fog on a rainy day in New York City yesterday.
