The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Llberty, located in New York City, may be the most famous statue in the world. It was a gift which was sent to the people of the United States by the people of France to honor the friendship of the two nations. It was designed by three genius visionaries and built in 1886. The statue is about one hundred and fifteen feet tall and is made from steel-coated copper. The pedestal is approximate eighty nine feet tall and is made from granite. The whole statue weights about two hundred and twenty five tons. Nowadays it is considered as a symbol of liberty. Nowhere else on earth is there a symbol that expresses the concept and ideals of personal freedom as dramatically. A lot of people donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for her construction and her continued existence. There are Five million people visit the statue every year. I hope that one day I can see it for real.
