911 Memorial
New York, NY
The title of this shot describes my reaction when seeing this memorial for the first time. It was the same response I had when first visiting the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC.
Even though I did not lose anyone I knew personally in either the Vietnam War or 911, the power of these two memorials evoked a strong, involuntary emotional response. Kudos to the designers, for they captured "it" perfectly.
