In a nearby city a field of over three thousand American flags were staked in a simple formation for the weekend. It is put up every year for the September 11th Remembrance. They call it the "Healing Field". Each flag has a small note card attached with the name and description of personality of a victim of that terrible day. The sheer number of flags, each representing a lost life, is quite astonishing.
This year, there was an added, permanent bronze:
Based on the famously unforgettable photograph, the bronze is larger than life with the firefighters raising the flag. It is located on the street edge of the city buildings. The title of the piece is "Hope Rising". And in the morning light today, it was quite lovely.
