United States 2005

That's it, the last day has arrived... Our feet are exhausted but we still don't want to leave this magnificent country and we intend to enjoy it to the end...

We therefore start the day with Liberty Island to finish it in the evening at the top of the Empire State Building.

The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France to the United States.
The architect Auguste Bartholdi designed and led the construction of the statue. Gustave Eiffel, for his part, took care of the iron structure that holds it all together.

It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1984.

The statue is located on Liberty Island from where you can see the buildings of Manhattan.
It changes from natural landscapes but one remains just as amazed in front of these buildings !!!

Alert! The torch is burning!!!

Statue of Gustave Eiffel

In the base, a museum traces the history of the statue, and allows at the same time to restore the image of France... Phew !!!

The first torch held by the Statue of Liberty... On the right, the original color.

The interior of the structure.

The Brooklyn Bridge

Return by the same route by ferry. In passing, close-up on the cluster of Manhattan buildings.

Ground Zero. The work on the tower that will replace the Twin Towers has barely begun.
All around, on the gates, panels resume the course of events.

The gravity of the place does not prevent Americans from expressing themselves, thus a "no love for Bush" manifested discreetly.

The Bull on Bowling Green

This famous bridge will give you one of the most magnificent views of Manhattan.

On each side cars pass, and we, we pass above

The cables add their artistic touch to the painting

The Manhattan Bridge

Sunset on the Statue of Liberty

Manhattan begins to light up

3 second pause on the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges

320 meters to contemplate a pretty panoramic of Manhattan from the top of the 86th floor.

The skyscraper was inaugurated by President Hoover in 1931. It is 448 meters to the top of the spire.

On the right, the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges

The Chrysler building

Limousine in front of Mac Do??? Casting error undoubtedly...
