these photos were taken late afternoon on the third anniversary of the 9/11 atrocity.... I was only there for about an hour, but it was very gratifying to see so many people come to pay tribute to the fallen.... it is especially moving to see all the out-of-towners come to pay their respect to us semi-American heathen new yorkers.... god bless you good people.....

notice the elmo doll in the passenger cab

the leader of the pack calling for his people to line up

"Easy Rider" obviously had a profound effect on many peoples psyches... Not that I object....

taking off.... I missed the tricycle until i was leaving... the lady driving it looked like someones grandmother..... god bless grandma.....

this is a lonnnnnggggg distance bike

more cool bikes

last shot of cycles

during the course of the hour I spent there several firetrucks stopped by to pay their respects to their fallen brothers

it's like people are makng their own pageantry in the absence of any official ceremonies...

some people object to the flagwaving that was so much a part of the post 9/11 experience.... but I love it... if you won't wave a flag when thousands of your own people are slaughtered in our own backyard.... when will you wave it....

fire trucks brothers last pass

motorcycle brothers ride off... godspeed

Crazy guy with flag... his theories were to baroque to relate... but it's clear that some people are determined to blame anyone but the demented muslim bigots who are bombing us because they're unhappy with how the crusades turned out... rant on crazyguy, they can't bomb you if you don't have a job....

tribute truck

a while before this mans whole family was there
