Picture Lower Manhattan: Balloon Flower

05/04/2012 in

While visiting 4 World Trade Center to see the Space Shuttle Enterprise fly-by last week, we were able to capture a few other great snapshots of Lower Manhattan beyond the construction on the 49th floor.

Above is an aerial view of the plaza in front of 7 World Trade Center – where stands the beautiful, mirror-polished, stainless steel sculpture, Balloon Flower, by artist Jeff Koons.
