The view looks straight up from the base of the pedestal, so the copper figure fills the frame and its raised torch arm and crown become the focus rather than the harbor below. Dedicated on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in 1886, the statue was a gift from the people of France to the United States, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with the internal framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel. Its green patina is the result of decades of oxidized copper, which formed after the original reddish-brown surface weathered, a change worth noticing against the bright sky in this shot.
