NEW YORK | Statue of Liberty | 151 FT | ≈ FLOORS | 1886
Perhaps the most seen monument in history, millions upon millions of people have passed through Ellis Island on ships. But the first thing they always saw was the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gold color, the green patina caused bu oxidation gave the building its infamous color. Still even though the Statue has little to offer to New Yorkers today, it is still jewel to behold. While the crown was shut off to visitors, and people don't come immigrate on ships as frequently the Statue is still one of the most visited sites in the city. But maybe here's something you didn't know of our great French gift:

It's about good damn time(this forum's entire history) that she gets her own thread.

Such a monument only comes once in a lifetime.

Interesting to know that while Liberty Island is under the jurisdiction of NY, it is located on the NJ side of the bay, thus making Liberty Island an enclave of NY. Either way, it is owned by the federal government.

I forgot we had a thread for the Statue. I have a nice pic I took one day when looking at the earthcam for the statue.
Sun happened to be in the right location for an epic view. http://oi57.tinypic.com/sdcrhs.jpg |
