The statue of libery was gift to the people of America from the people of France. The statue is made of copper and this explains the green appearance. As the copper oxidises over time, it turns green.

Traffic Light Shot New York
In New York, 2009. This image is a bit of a cliche but I like it – particularly for the backdrop of 1930s faded adverts on the old building gable end. I think this shot was taken around 7th Avenue and 42nd Street – not far from Times Square.
Bryant Park is a nice pleasant surprise. One minute you are scrambling around the concrete skyscrapers of New York, the next minute a lovely tranquil park space opens up. Its not big by any stretch of the imagination but it is certainly relaxing and a welcome respite from the hum of busy New Yorkers

On the Brooklyn side I wandered around Dumbo. For the uninitiated, this is the Developments Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. From here, I started to think about ways in which I could shoot the Bridge from different, less traditional places. In the end, I headed back to Manhattan and shot this from a Helipad further South of the Bridge.

Shot this in Manhattan just south of Central Park. Today’s interesting fact: Central Park was built on bog land. I don’t know where I picked up this fact but I am pretty certain it is true.
