PHOTO GALLERY: NEW YORK STATE: More than a big city!

The above photo is a photo of the famous Central Park, in New York City. I have always thought that the one thing New York did was to put a park, a big park, right in the middle of the biggest city in the United States.

But more than that, New York City is just part of a beautiful state, with beautiful scenery. And most people just think of New York as a big City. With this Photo Gallery today, I want to bring a collection of photos of the Big City New York, as well as the beauties of the State of New York. So, Let’s go!

If We do photos of the city, it’s obvious we have to do them vertically in order to get the big tall buildings in to the photo. New York City is known for their amazing tall buildings.

INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY:

The statue is covered in 300 sheets of coin-thin copper. They were hammered into different shapes and riveted together. The arm with the torch measures 46 feet (14 meters); the finger, 8 feet (2.4 meters); the nose, nearly 5 feet (1.5 meters). Seven rays in the crown represent the Earth’s seven seas.

Around 1626, Dutch residents who were living in what is currently New York City first referred to the region as New Amsterdam. But when King Charles II conquered the area, he gifted the city to his brother the Duke of York, who renamed it “New York.”
