This is the Oculus at the site of the World Trade Center memorial in Manhattan. I tried to capture this building from every angle and perspective. What do you think of the One World Trade Center in the upper right corner of the photo?
Oculus World Trade Center Station
I enjoyed my last trip to NYC back in 2019. MJ and I explored Manhattan, per our normal process. This was the first time we explored the Oculus building. This unique building is a terminal station on the PATH subway system. It also has an underground mall within it. I loved the architecture of this building.
NYC During Better Times
As we all struggle with the impacts of COVID world-wide, my thoughts go out to many areas around the world who are getting hit the hardest right now. One of those areas is NYC. I took this photo last year of the Oculus near the World Trade Center.

Oculus Shadows
During our last visit to Manhattan, we visited the Oculus. What an amazing spot! It is basically a subway station, but that description doesn’t do it justice. This is an architectural marvel on the inside and out. It is so modern and all white throughout. It’s big from the outside, but once you go inside…wow!! There are three floors under street level with all kinds of cool stores and access to the subway platforms. Just wonderful.
We explored the inside and the outside (I took a ton of photos of course). I captured some traditional perspectives, but also some unique angles/composition like this photo. I loved how the shadows fell across the sidewalk and street.
