A heart-shaped stone on the bank of the Hudson River at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, looking toward Liberty Island and Brooklyn in the distance...
I know this sounds silly, but I thought the Statue of Liberty was a LOT bigger than that!! It looks really small there. How big is it? (Sorry, I'm a Brit, I don't know these things..)
Remember what happens when you get some distance between yourself and an object? The object appears smaller. ;]
I took this shot about .5 mile from the statue which is 305 feet 1 inch (92.99m) from the ground to the tip of the torch (or 151 feet 1 inch [46.05 m] from the top of the base).
Love it. I was there on March 26 . . . spent that week in Manhattan. Loved every minute of it. That's was my 4th trip to NYC and I'm sure it won't be my last.
