Studio 365: Day 261
For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Grid, Michelle asks us to “…take the humble grid out of the shadows, and make it the star.” After seeing Leanne Cole’s wonderful photo homage to New York yesterday and Vladimir Brezina’s photos of New York today, it was out to the studio and the creation of an imagined grid of the wonder that is New York. As you can see it is very much a work in progress but good things may come of it I think.

Dramatic skies over Active Pass and Mayne Island on this morning’s ferry ride to Victoria.
Monochromatic and magical I hope you’ll agree.

Freedom Tower IV
To commemorate a day that is forever etched into our collective memories, today’s monochromatic Freedom Tower IV follows Versions I, II and III from February of this year after our moving visit to The National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York.
The letters for this quote from Virgil in the Memorial Hall of the Museum were forged from remnant World Trade Center steel by blacksmith Tom Joyce. Surrounding the quote is an art installation entitled Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on that September Morning by the artist Spencer Finch who created the work “to pay tribute to the victims and to explore both the personal and the collective nature of memory.”

Slurry Wall, Foundation Hall, 9/11 Memorial Museum
On a day on which we pause to reflect on the events of 9/11, a day that is seared in all of our memories I have been looking back at my photographs from our visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York last January and remembering how moved we were as we walked through the Memorial exhibit. The Museum has comprehensive descriptions online and on their app and I would invite you to visit their site to read about the slurry wall and how its structural integrity prevented flooding of subway tunnels and parts of lower Manhattan.
No day shall erase you from the memory of time…Virgil
