EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photo captures the serene beauty of a sunset behind the iconic Statue of Liberty in New York. Taken on May 26,2013, this image symbolizes resilience and hope as it was captured shortly before the statue and Liberty Island reopened to the public after being damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur of Lady Liberty against a picturesque sky painted with hues of orange and gold. The silhouette of the statue stands tall, representing freedom and liberty for all who gaze upon it. In this creative use of photography, Gary Hershorn skillfully portrays both nature's magnificence and architectural brilliance. The sun's rays gently illuminate the landscape, creating an atmospheric ambiance that evokes tranquility. As we admire this general view, devoid of any human presence, we are reminded not only of our connection to history but also our responsibility towards preserving our environment. This historic site serves as a reminder that even in times when nature tests us with its fury, humanity can rebuild and stand strong together. Whether viewed at dawn or dusk, sunrise or sunset, there is an undeniable magic about witnessing such natural wonders juxtaposed against man-made marvels like the Statue of Liberty. This photograph encapsulates that magical moment where beauty in nature meets human ingenuity – a testament to both artistic vision and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations.
