Great shot, very unusual perspective
Thanks, Charles!
Interesting angle.
It’s taken from inside Green-Wood Cemetery, a gorgeous and fascinating historic location, which was the site of the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776. The highest point in all NYC is the statue of Minerva in Green-Wood, which has direct line-of-sight to Lady Liberty: https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-the-story-behind-the-statue-of-liberty-s-lesser-known-brooklyn-twin
Very cool! I looked at the article and the one picture looks like Minerva is waving at the Statue of Liberty. When I was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds for training in the late eighties we made a special trip to see the statue but that’s about my experience with New Your.
Amazing angle! 📸🌟😊
