Wanderings in Manhattan - Say Hi(s) to the Statute of Liberty

What made the differences between these 2 pictures?

One was taken in cloudy day while another one was taken in sunny day;
One use no zoom while another one use zoom.

The first statement is correct. But the most important point is the pictures were taken from different distances.



The smaller photo was taken on Staten Island Ferry which provides free service 24 hours a day between Manhattan and the Staten Island. This lovely service allow passengers to admire the majestic view of Manhattan coast line together with the Statute of Liberty, the Ellis Island, Brooklyn Bridge and so on in a 25-minutes ride. Wonderful choice for budget travellers who just wanna say hi to the statute.


A few days later, I was invited me to have a relaxing cruise. The cruise lasted for around 2 hours and came with a buffet lunch. Food and services were nice. Nevertheless, the view was the real main course. Passengers could enjoy a better view because the cruise ship sailed much closer to the sightseeing points just mentioned above. A choice for tourists chasing quality lifestyle.
