Statue of Liberty

I finally convinced Holie to do the stupid tourist thing and visit the Statue of Liberty, it took some work.
It was very windy out there, with amazing stormy skys and beautiful colored clouds. One little girl walked by us, laughed and pointed. Her mother felt obliged to explain that it was the continuation of a conversation about the wind in everyone's hair, and that we were just particularly fine examples, not freaks for any special reason. I looked at Holie, and had to agree, don't you?Here are a couple of views of the statue from the jaunt around. It was actually much more interesting and impressive than I expected.Holie, showing her feistinessThe skys eventually did hold up to their promise of rain, and we got rather wet. Didn't help that we had to stand in line for the ferry for an hour.The sun on the sycamores through the black clouds was... well the picture doesn't do it justice, but still looks nice so...
