Greetings from Statue of Liberty National Monument

I took this photo on my mom’s birthday August 20th of 2013 and she liked it when Lady Liberty always stand above the pedestal in the Harbor. She thanked me for accepting my gift to her and it was a fitting present that I gave to her. This is our fifth time visiting & we hope that we will come back next year.

Sincerely,
Ernie
