I try to head down to lower Manhattan every year to pay respects and scope out the scene surrounding the World Trade Center; a mix of various mourners, family members, firemen, first responders, tourists, media, curious onlookers, conspiracy theorists, religious zealots, a huge police presence (more so than in previous years it seems), people who work in the area and walk by on their lunch breaks, all eyes intermittently glancing upwards, then looking down again. As the years pass, the intensity seems to cool off but the deep-rooted collective feeling of loss remains...
