In lower Manhattan, in Battery Park City, is the Irish Hunger Memorial by artist Brian Tolle. It floats above the ground- It's as if a piece of Ireland dropped down from the sky. |
|
You walk around back and enter through a long dark tunnel. |
|
You emerge into an Irish landscape. |

| This area, Battery Park City, was created from landfill that was excavated from the World Trade Center site, when it was being constructed. I think the planners of the 9/11 site should look here, just up the street, to see a good example of a moving, powerful memorial. Look below- the cluster of trees at the end of this street is the churchyard of St. Paul's chapel. Immediately in front of that, between us and the churchyard, is Ground Zero. |
