EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant photograph, the moon gracefully ascends over the iconic skyline of lower Manhattan. The city's indomitable spirit shines through as the "Tribute in Lights" illuminates the night sky on the solemn occasion of the seventh anniversary of the devastating attack on the World Trade Center. The image captures a moment that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply symbolic. As darkness falls, two beams of light reach towards heaven, symbolizing hope, resilience, and remembrance. Against this backdrop, the moon emerges as a silent witness to history unfolding below. The contrast between light and shadow evokes a sense of duality - one that reflects New York City's ability to simultaneously mourn its losses while standing tall in defiance against adversity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tragedy, there is always room for healing and renewal. Photographer Gary Hershorn skillfully captures this emotional scene with his lens, allowing us to reflect upon our shared humanity and pay tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11th. This photograph stands as a testament to our collective memory and reminds us never to forget those whose lives were forever changed by that fateful day. As we gaze upon this image, let it serve as a reminder of our duty to honor their memory by embracing unity, compassion, and strength in times of darkness – just like New York City continues to do each year when it lights up its skyline with these powerful beacons of remembrance.
