Here the Statue of Liberty stands as a dark silhouette against heavy clouds, with shafts of light breaking through behind her. The statue, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in 1886 and has greeted arrivals by sea for well over a century. Shots like this one, taken when the sky turns dramatic, bring out the monument's outline and its role as a symbol of welcome, which is why the statue remains one of the most photographed sights in the country.
