While Manhattan's skyline is wonderful, I've felt sadness seeing it since 2001. I'm looking forward to seeing the change in the skyline since the new Freedom tower has gone up.

From the Staten Island Ferry at sunset, the Manhattan Skyline is so beautiful! We also saw it from the water taxi on a cloudy day with some sun rays shining through. It's a DON'T MISS if you're in the area, filled with splendor and an amazing history!

The beauty of New York is never ending. Now that the new Freedom Tower is taking shape and looking at a 2015 finish, it is amazing, stunning, and exciting knowing that this marvel will be a beacon of FREEDOM. It also sends a powerful message that those who wish us harm will not succeed,
