Anatomy of Statue of Liberty

This is an HD image of the bottom portion of Statue of Liberty. Interestingly its made of sheet metal and if you enlarge the view on this pic you can see the way they have been joined together to give a very neat "clothy" texture.
Another factotum - The colour is due to chemical reaction (weathering) of the copper base which was originally reddish. It took 30 yrs for the lady to turn green.
