Liberty



These two images go back a bit more than a year ago when I visited New York City. Of course when one hasn't been there before, a visit to the Statue of Liberty is in order. Neither of these images were made from on the island, instead one from the southern tip of Manhattan Island, and the other from just under the Brooklyn Bridge looking towards New Jersey. Interestingly enough, you must go through likely the most rigorous security checks I have ever been through, in a couple of tents set up on Manhattan Island, before you can get on the small boats for the short ride to the Island. The statue arrived in New York City 122 years ago this month.
