Inside Looking Out

I didn't even attempt to go up in the Tower on Opening Day. This picture was taken several weeks earlier when very few people knew it was possible to go to the tower. As a volunteer I observed the universal reaction of every person who stepped out of the elevator onto the Observation Floor: "Wow!" The floor-to-ceiling windows freak some people out. One woman took two steps out of the elevator, turned white, and retreated right back into the elevator, overwhelmed by her fear of heights.
