In the days after 9/11, many impromptu memorials sprang up around New York City. Some were simply pictures of the "missing" (which always made me sob) - but one tribute in particular was very unique. A few ceramic tiles, made by children, were attached to a chain-link fence surrounding a small NYC Transit utility shed. As time went on the number of tiles grew. Eight years later, this corner in Greenwich Village has become a tourist attraction.
I pass the Tiles For America memorial every day I walk home from work, and it always moves me. Last week I took a couple of pictures.
