The Reverse Side of Statue of Liberty

Despite the loud headline this post just about a place that is behind all the famous Statue of Liberty. About statue know everything, but that's about what lies behind it are not many who came to New York. Despite the proximity to Manhattan, the place is surprisingly deprived of attention from local residents, tourists and photographers.

The people there certainly is, but the amount is not comparable with the crowds that can be found in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Therefore, the pictures out a little, and some of the angles we had never seen before. Even those who get there, rarely go to the park trails, but if deflected to the side, you'll find quite unusual species on a long-familiar object.

Manhattan and the famous green girl.

Memorial "Empty Sky", dedicated to the September 11 tragedy.

View of Midtown Manhattan. On the left under construction skyscraper 432 Park Avenue, right Empire state building.

The tallest building in New Jersey, a 42-story skyscraper Goldman Sachs Tower.

Window cleaners.

Train station Central Railroad of New Jersey dating from 1889. Once passengers trains from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and other cities we reach that shore of the Hudson, and transplanted to the ferry to Manhattan. In 1967, the traffic scheme changed and the station was abandoned. The building was restored, and the platform is still in ruins. At last my visit I noticed the station area with wooden flooring pigs. After the hurricane they were replaced on the tile.

Remains of the old docks. They previously were not in the best condition, but Hurricane Sandy has finished their final.

The passage to the platforms.

Aprons and canopy built in 1914. Since then, they have never been repaired and are in disrepair.

After the hurricane cleared of vegetation that covers the entire interior. Because of this there were interesting views.

Next area of the park, which was once one large railway junction.

You can combine nature and known to all objects.

Combine until you get bored.

Some species are quite surreal. Fisherman and Freedom.

In the dark blue forest where aspens quiver. Where witch with oaks leaves fall.

Bright against the dark Manhattan - is Ellis Island, which was once the largest point of the immigrants in the United States. From 1892 to 1954 12 million people passed through its walls. About 240 000 of them were refused and were forced to return home. Now the island is a museum of immigration.
