The photo shows the beautiful city of New York whit his lights and the Statue of Liberty.
It was taken in New York during the sunset. In the foreground there is the Statue of Liberty while in the background there are a lot of skyscrapers lit by colored lights. Among the skyscrapers there is also the Empire state building.
In this photo the sun is setting and the lights are turning.
I think that the atmosphere of the photo is peaceful and relaxing.
I like this photo because in the future I would like go there and take the same photo.
