It was a nice sunny day so we did get a nice picture of the Statue of Liberty She was a gift to the US by the people of France. Sculptor Bartholdi was commissioned to design the sculptor in 1876 and due to some difficulties it was not until 1886 when it was completed. There are very interesting facts at about the statue: http://www.nps.gov/archive/stli/prod02.htm%23Statue%20of.
