It&#8217;s on the side of an old factory building that now contains Gerardi&#8217;s Farmer&#8217;s Market. The central element is a depiction of three firemen hoisting an American flag Iwo Jima style in the rubble of the destroyed Twin Towers, which is based on a widely seen news photo taken by Thomas E. Franklin.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 12 years after 9\/11, the painting has begun to fade and flake off, the Twin Towers have become faint and indistinct. I photographed the mural from several angles and settled on the one above taken across the street in a garden center. Although the 9\/11 museum has yet to open at ground zero, and memories of that day remain fresh for many, the images of 9\/11 have begun to recede into the background.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brianrose.com\/journal\/2013\/stadium_lg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5295\" alt=\"stadium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brianrose.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/stadium.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brianrose.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/stadium.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.brianrose.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/stadium-624x494.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a>Staten Island Yankees stadium (4&#215;5 film) &#8212; \u00a9 Brian Rose<\/p>\n<p>On my way back to ferry I saw that a high school baseball game was being played in the Staten Island Yankee&#8217;s stadium. Admission was free, so I walked in and took a couple of pictures. The Staten Island memorial can be seen at left with its two wing-like structures, and One World Trade Center rises at center.
