EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Gary Hershorn, we witness the majestic Statue of Liberty standing tall against a vibrant sunset backdrop in New York City. The sun's warm rays illuminate Lady Liberty's iconic figure, casting a golden glow over her proud and stoic expression. Taken on May 26,2013, this image holds special significance as it marks the reopening of the statue and Liberty Island to the public after being ravaged by Hurricane Sandy the previous year. A symbol of hope and freedom for millions around the world, Lady Liberty stands resiliently amidst adversity, reminding us of our strength and unity in times of crisis. The composition beautifully captures both natural beauty and man-made marvels. As day turns into night, the setting sun paints a picturesque sky with hues of orange, pink, and purple that perfectly complement the statue's green patina. This juxtaposition highlights not only nature's magnificence but also humanity's ability to create enduring landmarks that withstand time. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of America's resilience and determination to rebuild even in challenging circumstances. It encapsulates both historical significance and contemporary triumph—a testament to our unwavering spirit as we continue to embrace liberty for all who seek refuge on American shores.
