I do not know who originally shot this picture, but let me know and I will give them due credit [edit: may be (AP Photo/ John Minchillo)]. To me it combines climate change, 9/11, global economy, globalization (to name a few) and essentially the last decade of political events and contemporary developments – things that have shaped my life and will continue to shape the future. My, oh, my.
What do you think?
Or if you have any other images, feel free to share them below.
Stay safe, my friends

GOD works in different ways,WTC has save most of the city from more water damage, the hole in the ground at The world Trade Center four basements deep has save a lot of the residents
That’s a very interesting point – the shadows of the WTC did perhaps have some impact on the flooding in the area.
You are probably right,
