As I continue the photo dump posts from our family's recent New York City trip, I wanted to post these photographs I took at the Oculus.
It's basically a glorified mall, but it was a nice visit there.
Of course, outside is the World Trade Center memorial, which brings back a lot of old memories. Although, I wasn't working that area at the time; my ex-wife did and it was a harrowing experience for her.
I did feel the impact from my office in mid-town, but nothing close to what those that witnessed or were involved in the tragedy.
Life goes on of course and the area has been revitalized.
The Oculus
Crafted by the visionary Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the Oculus stands as a magnificent masterpiece, fusing both form and function.
This architectural marvel houses the bustling World Trade Center PATH station, facilitating seamless transportation to New Jersey, while serving as a gateway to a network of 12 NYC Transit subway lines.
In addition, it boasts a myriad of tantalizing dining options and an array of shopping delights, all nestled within the captivating Westfield’s Shops at the Oculus. Prepare to be captivated by this harmonious convergence of design, connectivity, and vibrant urban experiences.
The photos were taken with my iPhone12.
