A long telephoto lens has been used to take this photograph, from the Staten Island Ferry. We had departed from Manhattan and were travelling to Staten Island, on an early morning ferry crossing. This provided a fantastic view back to Manhattan and the Financial District with the, nearly completed Freedom Tower dominating the skyline.
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture of a robed and crowned woman on Liberty Island, part of New York City, in New York Harbour. The copper-clad statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and its metal framework built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue has became an icon of freedom and of the United States, seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea. The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933, it has been maintained by the National Park Service as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, and is a major tourist attraction. Limited numbers of visitors can access the rim of the pedestal and the interior of the statue’s crown from within; public access to the torch has been barred since 1916.
