Thanks Samantha. It really is a moving memorial. I went shortly after it was opened and it really does have lots of places to reflect.

Re: National September 11 Memorial - New York City, NY
It would be a moving memorial, and you've share it very nicely, here, thanks. The last time I was in New York the Memorial was almost (but not completely) finished, so we couldn't see it. Guess I have (yet another) excuse to return to the Big Apple.

Re: April 28, 2019: Salto Angel, Venezuela
Another terrific Pic of the Day, Gilles. Thanks very much for sharing this with us. When I was a much younger man, Venezuela was very doable and pretty high up my list of places to go. But Hugo Chavez and his cronies changed all that and sadly have destroyed the lives of the residents of this beautiful country.

Re: April 28, 2019: Salto Angel, Venezuela
Oh yes... It will take a generation at best for normality to come back to Venezuela... Already in 2007 it was challenging (and unsafe) to travel.

Re: Hyatt Resorts – Hyatt Regency Orlando. Florida
The 32-story, 1641-room hotel was originally constructed in 1986 as The Peabody Orlando. I remember well when all traffic stopped on International Drive to allow the Ducks the time to cross the street safely - then enter the Duck pond inside the Hotel.

HI Garry, thanks for the comment. I can imagine what a scene I-Drive must have been. I'd have loved watching those cute ducks cross the street, however annoying it was to traffic Thanks for sharing.
