I look forward to one day visiting and paying my respect at the 11M memorial. Tally Ho, -Skip Thanks Alistair,

I agree, I like the fact that you were able to capture the emotion and still be discrete. I look forward to one day visiting and paying my respect at the 11M memorial.

I like the monument because it does capture very well how people felt and it continues to make you feel .. it's something that will always be with you.

I've read, that when you talk to folks from Madrid, everyone seems to know someone who was affected on that day. Maybe this is a question for Alstair, do folks mind having their picture takin at this memorial? regards, -Skip Austin, TX Very moving pictures, Does 11M hold the type of emotion that 9/11 does for americans?
