Miss Liberty

Explore #13 6/17/07

On Saturday night, Kevin's friend Captain Darin invited us to be his guests on a three hour cruise on the Spirit of New Jersey.

We hung out with Darin in the Wheel Room, ate good food, saw beautiful NYC from the river - including fireworks and the Statue of Liberty waaaay up close, and...well, had a super fun time!

Great shot! I'm surprised you could get it so clean from a boat. Was the water especially calm that night ?

Brooklyn Hilary says:

Thanks, all!

To answer some questions...
- We were moving because of the waves, but Captain Darin had the boat pointed towards the statue and was holding it for a minute so I could take my photos! I was also told by Kevin that the boat doesn't usually go that close. I'm not sure.

- it was a big boat, so not as rocky as some.

- no HDR

- This was through a window

- 50mm lens (thanks, Lauren!) We were very close!

- I took about 20 photos - some were quite blurry. :)

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883
