Before I'd been to New York City, I didn't like the architectural style of the World Trade Center, but once I moved to New York in 1980, it's ubiquitus presence changed my tune. You could see the towers from everywhere. They were always somewhere in the background. The shear size of the towers made them special.  (Some of these photos were taken many miles away in New Jersey.)

For this 10th anniversary of the attack on the towers, I've pulled together some of those WTC photos.
