Whenever I’m in New York City, I try to visit the Statue of Liberty. Like last in April 2018, when I took this photograph, on a less than clear day. And whenever I see her, I’m always awed by her sight – and by what she stands for:
Peace – Hope – Unity – Dignity – Equality- Respect – Solidarity – Tolerance – Dialogue – Friendship between Nations – Liberty – Justice
These values should apply to all members of the human family and are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. Let us all not forget that.
I wish all my American friends a peaceful 4th of July. Stay safe!

Lovely post, Marcus! I’ve yet to see her. I had originally planned to take my first trip to New York this fall, but life has other plans. :/
Thanks, Amy, so much appreciated! Trust me, she still will be there when you make it to the big apple! Stay safe! Marcus

Beautiful shot Marcus! I’m curious if you are still visiting Portland these days. I hear a lot about riots there and always wonder if you still fly there. I hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe!!
Thanks, Janet, your kind words are very much appreciated! I haven’t been to Portland in almost a year now, my last visit was August 2019. I was supposed to return in April, but Covid killed the trip. We are all good, I hope you as well! Stay safe! Marcus
