The Statue of Liberty


The picture is also taken by my cousin.



The France government gave the statue of liberty to America as a present on their 110 years anniversary of independence. The statue is made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf. It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal.

Worldwide, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the United States, and in a more general sense, represents liberty and escape from oppression. What a big present it is!!
