MIA is the hostess this week
(welcome Mia)
and the theme she has chosen is:
LOOKALIKE
Another fun theme! The minute I heard Lookalike,
my first thought was of the old
Liberty Mutual Insurance building
They torn it down some years back.
There was a replica of the Statue of Liberty
on the top of it which had carefully
been saved and moved to a new
location in the outskirts of town
at the headquarters for the Boy Scouts of America.
So I headed there...
I love it when I see people proud of their country.
There are so many wonderful countries and
many reasons to be proud of them.
The more people I meet from around the world,
the better I understand that!!!!
I, too, am proud of my country and
I am proud to be an American.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lifted my lamp beside the golden door!"
by Emma Lazarus
WOW That really does look LIKE the Statue of Liberty!!!!!

What a fabulous blog Linda. Love your photos down the side as well. I haven't been around again all week and renos start in full swing next week.
ReplyDeleteRonnie's Picture Perfect
What an awesome thought & Shot! I love it. It looks like the real deal standing so proudly. My son and his brand new wife honeymooned in Paris and saw the original. They were only able to get a photograph of it from the Eiffel Tower so it is very small and without detail in the photo, but it was still neat looking at the photo of it. Have a terrific week! Thanks for visiting mine!
ReplyDeleteReally amazing "mini" Ms. Liberty. I have stood at the base of the original - she is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.

This is amazing. The way you took the picture, make me feel the movement of the flag. Somehow it looks kinda romantic, in a strong way. Well, I'm not good in describing it. All I could say: "GREAT JOB !!"
