Happy Independence Day!

Want to see more photos? Check out pictures geotagged at the Statue of Liberty.

Today is the Fourth of July — America’s Independence Day — and we’re commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776 with an ode to Lady Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty sits on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It was designed by frenchman Frédéric Bartholdi, gifted to the United States from the people of France, and officially dedicated on October 28, 1886. The woman represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. A broken chain lies at her feet and she carries a torch and a tablet upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

Olympic Rings on Tower 42
New aerial photos of London in the run up to the Olympics by Jason Hawkes.
The Olympic rings are lit 183m up on the top of Tower 42, perhaps better known as the Nat West Tower. To the front and left is the 202m high Heron Tower. At over 300m, the newly built Shard, seen in the background, dwarfs them both.

July 4th is an exception to the rule: when we sing the national anthem, we almost always do it before a sporting event. This is somewhat fitting because successfully performing the anthem is practically an athletic feat.
