Photos of Ground Zero and the Surrounding Neighborhood, September 10 2010

Around midday, I stepped out to snap a few photos of Ground Zero and the sorrounding area.  I want to give my readers a better idea of what the neighborhood looks like both before and during tomorrow's commemoration events--so please return tomorrow for more photos!

Photo 1

This picture is taken directly outside of my apartment building, looking onto Ground Zero in the background.

Photo 2

Taken at the corner of Liberty Street and Greenwich Street.  This is where the FDNY is located, as well as the tribute memorial to 9/11.

Photo 15

This photo was taken from the corner of Ground Zero that is the closest to Park51.  The white arrow points to Park Place.  Park 51, or the "Ground Zero Mosque" is down this street.  As you probably noted from the previous pictures, you cannot see Park51 from Ground Zero, and similarly, you cannot see Ground Zero from the Park 51.

This, however, is what you see directly across the street from Ground Zero.
