A tribute to 9/11 from Italy

DonaldG · 10-12-2009, 01:54 PM

Last week I was taking a walk long the shore of Lake Maggiore in Stresa, Italy when I noticed a simple but moving tribute to the victims of 9/11.

I thought that Americans would like to know that their firefighter colleagues in Italy have made their tribute too:

I'm full Italian :P

I know a woman who lost all her family in 9/11, literally, it was very sad to see her try and .. explain .. that, everyone she ever loved.... is gone.

Very sad day for American, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Iran, everyone..

That's pretty cool. I wouldn't expect to see that in Italy.

That's a beautifully simple but elegant monument to the tragedy

Unexpected and very nice.

Its a very nice touching monument for all the brave people who were lost.

DonaldG · 10-14-2009, 02:59 AM

I think that we all were affected by that tragic event. When I discovered the monument, I was stunned to the point of tears. I thought it a wonderful tribute from the people of Stresa and indeed the Stresa Voluntary Firefighters.

The monument is in a very beautiful spot, in a public park and overlooking Lake Maggiore and Isola Bella. ('Beautiful Island')

The two graphics from Google Earth shows the exact place.

**WereBo** · 10-14-2009, 05:35 AM

I hope you're going to put that/those photos on 'Panoramio', there's no other photos of the tribute there

DonaldG · 10-14-2009, 08:13 AM

Unfortunately it against Panoramio's policy to display monuments. I can lodge them on my Panoramio page but they would not be displayed on Google Earth. That said, I will give it a try - It can take up to a month before they are displayed on GE because every sumission has to be approved by a human!

**WereBo** · 10-14-2009, 08:57 AM

You might be lucky with the 1st photo, it's got a fair bit of 'scenery' behind it

I found out, the hard way, about Panoramio's policies too, when I tried posting some raptor close-ups I took at my nearby Raptor-Centre. The more distant shots were accepted cos they had some nice Kent countryside in them.

DonaldG · 10-14-2009, 10:34 AM

I just uploaded another 17 photos to Panoramio, including #1 above. Hopefully it might get through.

Although they are not on Google Earth just yet, you can see them on Panoramio now.

**WereBo** · 10-14-2009, 12:26 PM

WOW!!! You've got some wonderful photos there Donald

**Jason09** · 10-15-2009, 11:27 AM

Cool. It was certainly a tragic and sad time then…

**jcgriff2** · 10-17-2009, 09:42 AM

A very tragic day without question.... 50 miles from my home in New Jersey.

Without wishing to dredge up painful memories for anybody closely involved with that tragedy, I found a TV advert that Budweiser made as a tribute - I thought it beautiful.....

In the last 24 hours, another 40-50 of my photos have been approved by Panoramio for publication on Google Earth, incuding the Photo of the 9/11 monument.

It will still take a while before they actually appear as icons but they can be seen here.
