"La liberté éclairant le monde"

New York, United States

aka "Liberty Enlightening the World" - you probably know it as the Statue of Liberty.
Reminds me of a movie : "Hey, how many of you people out here are a national monument, raise your hand, please? Oh, hello, miss!" Half expected to hear the dulcet tones of Jackie Wilson as we approached.
