-- statue in the New York harbor --
Before building this big one, Bartoldi made a smaller maquette, which is displayed on a small island on the Seine river in Paris.
Unfortunately, "Liberty lightning the world" is not the most visited monument in Paris.
I reckon it's the Eiffel tower - a piece of iron in daylight, but IMHO a real beauty at night, thanks to a splendid floodlightning.
As a matter of fact, these days, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a derrick, without the petrol ..... <img src="images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> could this explain Chirac's present positions ??? <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
