EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by REUTERS photographer Gary Hershorn, the Tribute in Lights illuminates the skyline of lower Manhattan on September 11,2006. As the fifth anniversary of the devastating September 11,2001 attack on the World Trade Center is observed, these powerful beams symbolize both remembrance and resilience. The image showcases a solemn moment as New York City pays tribute to those who lost their lives in one of history's most tragic events. The twin beams of light pierce through the darkness, reaching towards the heavens like beacons of hope amidst sorrow. Against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers and urban sprawl, they serve as a reminder that even in times of immense tragedy and loss, unity can emerge from adversity. The Tribute in Lights has become an iconic annual tradition since its inception in 2002. Each year on September 11th, these ethereal lights shine brightly into the night sky to honor not only those who perished but also to commemorate the strength and resilience displayed by survivors and first responders. This photograph encapsulates both reverence for what was lost and admiration for how far we have come as a city and nation. It serves as a visual testament to our collective memory while inspiring us to continue moving forward with courage and compassion.
