Your Scene: Taking liberties with the angle

The Statue of Liberty has been photographed countless times from all directions, but Jill Bowker, who had tickets that allowed access to the icon’s crown, took a fresh look. The result is a bird’s-eye view of the tablet in Lady Liberty’s left arm.

The inscription in Roman numerals says, “July 4, 1776,” the date when the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. Bowker and her family were in New York in May for their eldest daughter’s graduation. The Sun Valley resident used a Samsung TL 225 12.2 megapixels camera.
