 The
Staten Island Ferry. This whole area is under construction, so
although you can't see it, the big sign in the background only reads "N
Island Ferry." |
 Destination
in sight! |
 The
walk down to the statue's ferry from the subway follow the riverfront as it
dumps into the Upper Bay. That's Jersey City in the back, there. |
 Arrival
at Liberty Island. |
 The
statue from the side. |
 That's
the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, which happes to be I-278. It connects
Staten Island with Brooklyn. |
 Up
close with Lady Liberty. |
 You
can't go all the way up there anymore, you are only allowed to go until the
base of the statue ends. The green part is off-limits. |
 July
4, 1776. |
 I
enjoy this picture. I am glad I took it. |
 The
torch. |
 One
last view of the statue. |
 Ellis
Island. |
 Brooklyn. |
 A
closeup of some Manhattan buildings. |
 Although
it's hard to see from the statue without zoom, my camera was able to capture
the Empire State Building. |
 Downtown
New York. |
 To
the left is where the Twin Towers used to stand. |
 A
ferry is headed back to the city. |
 The
Brooklyn Bridge as seen from the statue. |
 Back
on land, we pass the American Stock Exchange. |
 Wide
view of the WTC Site. |
 This
construction driveway entrance was not here in March 2004, when I last
passed through the city. |
 Historical
signs are hung on the gates around the site. |
 The
names of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001. |
 Sticking
the camera lens through the gates, I could get this picture of the gaping
hole. |
 The
cross made out of the beams that held up the WTC. |
 It
appears that not all of the damage has been repaired on the surrounding
buildings. |
 This
building is completely covered in mesh, and the bare beams can be seen.
I think this one is uninhabitable. |
