New York: Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan Skyline
The statue (affectionately called "Lady Liberty") was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States for the 100th birthday of America's Independence. It has become an icon of freedom and of the United States.
Lady Liberty's crown has seven spikes, symbolising the Seven Seas across which liberty should be spread. In her left hand she holds a tablet with the Declaration of Independence and in her right hand a torch, symbolising Enlightenment.
I wish to be brave enough to go to the staircase inside the statue and walk all the way up the 354 steps to the crown from where (as melaniaf informs), I can have a nice view over New York City...
