911

Well, it's September 11, as if you didn't know already.

When that morning was unfolding two years ago, with one eye on the TV, I was on the net. The place I went was http://kinya.com/. They had a live webcam located in the towers and I often loved to go there to catch the view of New York City. By the time I got to http://kinya.com/view.html on September 11, it had gone dark. I remember how that felt.

So, this morning on a whim, I went back there, http://kinya.com/view.html and found the site still there, still partly operational. I guess the files are on a server somewhere, possibly forgotten. Or possibly someone just doesn't want to remove them, yet.

I thought to remember that day I would put up two live pictures of downtown New York, as it is today.

I believe that you will have to refresh this page to get them to reload, but they are somewhat current.

The first cam comes from Riot Manhattan. This is a view looking north up Fifth Avenue from the southeast corner of 45th Street. A new picture is available every 20 seconds. 

The second image comes from www.earthcam.com. It's a picture from Times Square. Again, hit reload to change and update the picture.

 

Blessings.
