The Statue of Liberty

WELCOME to Ellis Island

Does one really know how tall or big the statue really is? This is one thing I wanted to find out. You see her on TV, but what do you have to judge the size with? To get a good shot from the front, on at the base of the statue, is near impossible! With a crowd waiting for a long period of time to get to the front, and will not give up, I wouldn't waste my time. Myself, I feel the shot isn't worth all the trouble, with the angle and distance make for a poor shot.

This was the original light from the statue. Some of the broken glass is even covered with duct tape

This is what I mean about the angle and distance not giving a good shot, and this is one level down.
