WTC Twin Towers at Sunset.

I had not seen this before yesterday.



Sunset through the WTC Twin Towers ... possibly shortly after construction
but before occupancy (?). Photoshopped?

The crane on the roof suggests they're still under construction.

No interior walls is another clue.

What a gorgeous picture though. <3

... I'm trying to get more visual information regarding that sunset photo (which I should say is actually a sunrise photo, not sunset. My mistake.)
There are no supporting structures shown or suggested in the construction that I can see for all the shops, stores, offices and so forth. Knowing this, it does have a somewhat 2001: Space Odyssey feel. Nothing here suggests the information in the sunrise photo, as far as I can tell. It is largely a mathematically precise illusion.)

In 2001, shortly before the attack!




Looking again at the sunrise photo, one realizes the ingenious design -- in what wasn't there. It sort of reminds of the cantilevered Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright for the genius in geometrical physical balance, I think. The math and geometry of the Towers was a wonder.

Far more importantly than that, unfortunately, the sunrise photo was certainly an eye-popping revelation to real evil that hates Americans, as well as an inspiration, and that warrants discussion.

Today, the sunrise photo might very well not even be published!

Thank you for this excellent post, @Lummy.
