thanks gymhkana-- but if you can open the large image, please look at it.

some of the buildings look bright Orange that is constructions netting, the facades where damaged, and loose material was falling and injuring workers..

one advantage of the full size version, is there is so much detail. in the upper left hand quadrant, you'll see a building with domed top, (world Financial center building, and next to it, a pedestrian bridge. look at the road its crossing. (which is hard, it has so much debree.. it is an eight (8!) lane highway. that gives you some scale for the the mess.. an eight lane highway is lost in the photo..

In the upper left corner, is a boat basin..there is were all the concrete is being transported to, and then loaded on barges.

in lower left quadrent, there is a wedge shaped park, with two small building the southern one (south is to left, top= west, and it is Hudson/North River.) is city hall. just behind it, is old tammany court house.

there are AP photos, from the 11th, of people being enveloped in dust, labeled "city hall" and in the photos, you see the not the building but the park.

below city hall, at the edge of photo, there are is a mess of roads, the are the entrance and exit ramps to Brooklyn bridge. at this point, Manhattan Island is only about 1.5 to 1.8 miles wide, and you see about 90% of it.

the green patch to right (north side) of Bright Orange buildings, is St Pauls Chapel.. a pre-revolutionary war partially wooden building.. the green is the church yard/cemetary. Alexander Hammilton is buried it the yard. the fire cheif chaplin, lost at WTC, was also laid in the chapel till his body could be removed. several photos have shown fire fighters/ rescue workers sleeping on the pews in the chapel.

the green patch to south of Bright Orange buildings is Trinity church and grounds.

i hope this helps-- if you have an old map of NY, you'll be able to find some of these sites. (even very, very old maps will have trinity church and st pauls chapel!)
