Christmas Night - I got soaked from head to toe walking around the site.

I randomly picked a few streets around Lower Manhattan and just started walking, not caring where I'd end up and trying to find some architecture to photograph. There was plenty.

The New York Stock Exchange was decorated with the American flag once again ...

... and a Christmas tree!

While the NYPD's presence was prominent, there was a more polite reminder of the heightened security measures in place.

It was quite a warm day in New York. There was no snow on the ground, and the birds were out eating their breakfast. I decided to skip breakfast so I could sleep a few extra minutes. By now I was very hungry. Where was that pretzel wagon?

Even though it's free, I have never gotten on the Staten Island ferry before. I gave it a try. No more Circle Line for a third time.

It was a windy morning. When I got off at Ground Zero, it was cloudy, but by the time I got onto the ferry half an hour later, the skies have cleared out almost completely.

The Whitehall terminal is new. Did the ships use the old one off to the right before?

7 WTC is visible from this angle. It was very windy, which made it feel very cold. I didn't last very long in the outdoor observation area.

I thought Newark and Jersey City were connected somehow, not realizing that the two skylines are quite far apart. Here's Jersey City. It was a good 15 minute ride on PATH from Newark Penn to Exchange Place!

Lovely bridges

Goodbye Manhattan! What a lovely vantage point.

Now ... continuing the tour of Lower Manhattan :

Bowling Green is a very nice park within walking distance of the waterfront. It is also bounded by several major landmarks, such as Custom House :

... and a symbol of the stock market :

And that's when I spotted a Trans Enviro double decker posing as a tourist coach!

I wanted to visit the Museum of American Financial History. At $2 it was quite a bargain.

There's something eerie about empty tree branches and skyscrapers.
