New York Diptych

I had to do this! When 'rummaging' through scanned photos on my iPhotos I came across an old shot of downtown Manhattan - taken on my first ever trip to NYC in March 1989. Then the idea was formed ... Such change in 'almost' 25 years!

Wow! That is amazing! There they are - the twin towers.

[Carolyn]

Wow! As Julie says, amazing! It does bring tears to my eyes though, to see the towers.

[KWind]

Neat to see the two for comparison!

[Jill]

This is wonderful! So glad you did it!

[Nita]

Wow! A wonderful idea to do this comparison. There is a true difference and not just the missing towers.

[Michelle]

That is terrific!

@juliedduncan @carolyns @kwind @seejillrun @sansjuan @mtpagano It was my dad who gave me the idea, as he mentioned how the skyline had changed since he was there in 1968! I don't have any of his old photos, but I did manage to find one of mine from 1989. It is obviously particularly poignant to see that the twin towers have been replaced.
