For this post, I want to share some photographs of the marvelous, grand, Statue Of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was gifted to the United States by France in the late 1880s to celebrate their friendship developed from the American Revolution. It is one the world's most iconic momentums and a huge symbol of the United States for freedom. To see the Statue of Liberty, you take a ferry over to Liberty Island. Ferry shows what a typical ferry looks like. This is one in particular is not the one I took, and it might be a ferry used for business purposes but it is still very similar to the actual ones. What makes this photo interesting is also the fact that the ferry has gas coming off. This makes a statement on pollution and points out its importance. We need to find eco-friendly ways to transport. In this scene, a beautiful sea is invaded by a bulky piece of metal, trekking across the water. There has to be better ways to transport without causing so much harm to Earth.
For Can't Be Stopped, I wanted to show the enduring power of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is not just simply a beautiful statue, it is a symbol of the United States and its strength. The U.S. is a place of opportunity and dreams. With hard work, and positivity, these dreams can be attainable. In this photography, Lady Liberty is looking up, showing optimism. Without optimism and believing in yourself, life is not living. Everyone is important and has something in them. Everyone has a talent or something special that makes life brighter. With this mind set, you can't be stopped from achieving your dreams. Another thing that is cool is that I saw the Statue of Liberty during the government shutdown. The State Government was able to open the Statue and this action shows how important this Statue is.
For Dress and Side, I wanted to focus on the individual details of the Statue. A big amount of time was put in each line and curve of the statue. These should not go unnoticed. Another thing that is quite amazing about the Statue is that as you walk around this island and look at her, different emotions are expressed on her face. The angling of where you are looking at her is important. For Persevere, Lady Liberty looks like a woman of determination and hard work. She is not giving up and letting anything go. As you move, she looks different.
For Tired, she looks sad and exhausted. She has been holding this torch for so long and just waiting for action. The sunlight casts dark shadows under her eyes. As you can tell from Can't Be Stopped, Persevere, and Tired, how she looks is dependent from where you are standing when looking at her. Lastly, for City View, I wanted to show what NYC looks like from Liberty Island. I like this photo a lot as it represents all that is NYC. There is nature such as parks, represented by the grass; people, represented by the crowd; transportation, represented by a helicopter in the sky and boats on the water; and huge skyscrapers, represented by all the buildings. All together, these photographs represent what the US is and what NYC is. If you visit NYC, definitely visit the Statue of Liberty.
