I spent a week in Manhattan last April visiting my sister and riding my bike all through the city. One evening, my brother-in-law and I headed over the George Washington bridge to New Jersey on our bikes, then South to Liberty Park, to get photos of the Statue of Liberty.
The next morning, I decided I wanted photos from the front, but being cheap, and not wanting to stand in line for hours to take the ferry to Liberty Island, I opted for a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry. My Fuji S5200 has a 10x optical zoom, so I was able to get a few good pics, even in rough waters.
I’m hoping to go back there again next year, and I think I’ll spring for tickets to Liberty Island, and maybe check out Ellis Island while I’m at it.
