Usually, in New York City, you can spot the tourist pretty easily as they are the ones always looking up while clogging the sidewalks. I do enjoy looking up, even after living here for 14 years. It amazes me that some of these buildings, which don't seem that tall in their place in the Manhattan skyline, but would be towering over other cities.

I found myself attending a meeting at the World Financial Center, across the West Side Highway from the World Trade Center. Inside the World Financial Center (now called Brookfield Place), there is the Winter Garden Atrium, a place where palm trees grow year round. I made my way to the meeting, the sun was setting, but I didn't have the luxury of time to stop and take some photos. I had people to meet after all.

When I left my meeting, I remembered I had my dSLR with the wide angle lens in my bag. I decided to take a couple of photos inside the World Financial Center, and one of the new One World Trade Center building. Since all the streets right next to the Freedom Tower are closed to through traffic, I was able to stand in the middle of the road to get the photo of 1WTC and 7WTC looking up. 1WTC is so tall, you cannot even see the top of the building from the base.
