This aerial image showcases the iconic Ellis and Liberty Islands in New York, USA. In the upper right corner, we see Ellis Island, a significant historical site that served as the primary immigration port into the United States from 1892 to 1954. Over this period, it welcomed and processed more than 20 million immigrants seeking a new life in America. Today, Ellis Island stands proudly as a museum, preserving the stories and experiences of those who passed through its gates. At the lower center of the photo lies Liberty Island, home to one of America's most cherished symbols of freedom: The Statue of Liberty. France gifted this magnificent statue to commemorate US independence during its centenary celebration in 1876. Although completed and unveiled only in 1886, Lady Liberty has since become an enduring symbol welcoming visitors from all over the world. The image captures not only these historic landmarks but also highlights their architectural beauty against New York City's urban backdrop. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural diversity while showcasing how land use and building technology have evolved over time. As an aerial photograph taken by Science Photo Library using earth observation techniques, it provides us with a unique perspective on these tourist attractions that continue to draw millions each year. This print is sure to inspire awe for both history enthusiasts and admirers of American landmarks alike.
