Freedom Tower
Note 1: With One World Observatory opening on May 29, 2015, the Freedom Tower at 1776 feet tall with 104 floors is the tallest building in the western hemisphere. It replaced the Twin Towers that were destroyed in a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Construction began April 27, 2006.

Note 2: For those who know about the New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry in baseball, the Freedom Tower was not exempt. Unlike 2008 when a rogue construction worker buried a Boston Red Sox (David Ortiz) jersey under concrete in the new Yankee Stadium when it was being built that required 2 1/2 feet of concrete to be broken so the jersey could be removed, someone scrawled on one of Freedom Tower's beams "Yankees 1." Even thought the Mets also play here in NY, the Yankees will always be New York's team and apparently enshrined in Freedom Tower. I did not notice this until today when I was going through my photos, otherwise I would have taken a separate shot of this beam. Still for trivia and folklore, I've included the photo I did take on September 18, 2010 of the east side of Freedom Tower in its early construction phase:

Thank you, William, for such informative pictures.
Must be a great feeling to have a look from there.
Have a fine Sunday.
William Sutherland club has replied to Marie-claire GalletLove all them.
William Sutherland club has replied to RHH clubWONDERFUL photo !!! in fact, great series William.
I have been a "skyscrapper" fanatic all my life.... and this is so beautiful
It is a beauty that respects and pays hommage to the grief from which it was born.

William Sutherland club has replied to Taorminap.s. The Empire State Building is again the 3rd tallest building in NYC thanks to Freedom Tower (1776 feet) and the newly built 432 Park Avenue Condo complex that stands at 1550 feet. The World Trade Centers stood at 1368 and 1362 feet so despite the terrorist efforts, NYC now stands bigger and taller than ever. :)
Congrats on Explore.
LOVE the first one more especially. What a great job ! *******
