Ellis Island


This is such a great example of framing I can't stand it. The picture came from an anniversary commemoration of the Statue of Liberty. It shows the statue in full form and it's silhouette in the distance is enhanced by the power lines. The grid the power lines create gives an industrial feel to a landmark that symbolizes immigrants having industrial jobs and able to make themselves apart of the country. I think the desolate poles at the bottom of the picture also give a theme of better things beyond the horizon. It is a very interesting way to show the Statue of Liberty.
