Seeing 2010 (#130)

For your consideration: an image in homage to those unfortunate souls who so senselessly lost their lives nine years ago this day. May their families be free from fear and suffering and filled with peace and lovingkindness.

Taken from the vantage point of San Jose's City Hall; the thin spires (which are actually misters) serve as both echoes of the Towers and as silent sentries, seemingly outstretched as if striving to caress the jet as it makes its final approach. One small tentacle is slightly bowed, in silent witness to the still lingering sorrows of 9/11.
