I have a love affair photographing the Statue of Liberty. The way the Statue stands proud in New York harbor. Facing each new day. A call to freedom from slavery, tyranny. I am an immigrant that came in by boat in 1960 into NY harbor. To me, America represents a country where people help each. It was one of those perfect moments to hang out of the helicopter and watch the sunrise. Does the Statue Touch your spirit? * * * * #statueofliberty #favoriteplaces #momentsofzen #theseunitedstates #passionpassport #colors_of_day #tbt #surroundmewithwater #nyc #newyorklife #explorer #travel #newyorkcity #wanderlust #instatravel #travelphoto #citylife #fineartphotography #natgeo100contest #travelphotography #historicnyc #newyork_instagram #lonelyplanet #nycphotographer #nikonusa #freedom #blackhistory #immigration (at Statue Of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuK-WhLAfBJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=127eat9hbscxy

There is an amazing feeling standing and walking around Abraham Lincolns childhood home. From these humble beginnings, he helped transform our country towards the goal where all people are created equal. " My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth. Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. A government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth" Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home 1811-1816, at Knob Creek in Hodgenville, Kentucky * * * * #abrahamlincoln #us #america #travel #blackhistorymonth #history #blackhistory #freedom #abrahamlincolnbirthday #kentucky #cabin #historichome #theseunitedstates https://www.instagram.com/p/Btz46TFArg8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wxr57jaw540m

There is a beautiful hike above Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico. In the winter there is hardly anyone there, and the snow outlines the buildings wonderfully. This is one of my favorite places to explore in the United States. One becomes transported in time to when Chaco Canyon was the cultural center of ancient Pueblo Peoples. It is a world UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is essential for Americans to know about our history. I feel what makes us unique as a country is the Native Ameican heritage of the land. If you want to see more of the southwest, you can order a signed copy of my book Carved By Time: Landscapes Of The Southwest from my website * * * * * #chacoculturenationalhistoricalpark #newmexico #chacocanyon #nationalparks #travel #traveldeeper #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #pueblobonito #wildandscenic #travelnewmexico #camping #minimalism #PuebloPeople #sharewonder #TLPicks #traveldeeper #soutwest #explore #wanderlust #anasazi #beautifuldestinations #ushistory #NeverStopExploring #LP #humanhistory #ushistory #winter #snow #carvedbytime #architecture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9SZx1A00-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=agq0m5bo6xmo

It's always moving to visit the Statue of Liberty. It's probably my favorite artwork in the world. Nice dusk colors as I was heading back to the mainland.

A great place to drive and take a hike. If you bring some Bourbon or Scotch, you can chip off some ice that is over 10,000 years old, Matanuska Glacier, Alaska. It is the largest glacier accessible by car in the United States. It is 100 miles north-east of Anchorage, Alaska. * * * * #alaska #matanuskaglacier #alaska #hiking #travel #vuescan #nikonusa #sharewonder #beautifullife #theseunitedstates #usa #analogphotography #monochrome #park #nature dventures#fineartphotography#landscapephotography #roadtrip #anchorage #explore #ak #beauty #glaciers #magical #travelphotography #instatrave (at Matanuska Glacier State Recreational Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUX0FvAt3C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jeii1rlzb1pp
