This photo was shot during my first visit to the Statue Of Liberty. As we were entering the park I saw this shot but in a moment of coordinating out of town guests and what we were going to do next, I forgot to get the shot. What grabbed me immediately about this angle of Lady Liberty was that I had never seen it before. As we were leaving I remembered the shot and went back to get it. I'm glad I did!

In the Libertad photo essay.

Also in the story My Submissions For No. 18.

    Never quite seen the French lady like this, ”Statue de la Liberté; La liberté éclairant le monde...“.
    A gift to the people of the US by the French people in the 19th Century.
    To American Democracy, revolutionary then, home of Ben Franklin, of the Liberty Ships, of the Centers for Disease Control, of Pixar... And the brave young people of the Sixties who ended 'that other' insane war.
    Beautiful! (vt'd!)
