I was traveling in the Washington DC area in 2002 about nine-months after 9-11. At the time Liberty was closed to the public and under armed guard. I took this shot from Liberty Park looking straight up while the officer stood at the edge of the platform.
... so I'm traveling up the central California coast and I stop to take a break near San Simeon. I was just hanging out enjoying the view when this guy walks up to the bluff, whips out his bagpipes, and starts playing. It was one of the most surreal moments of my entire life.
