Two Staten Island Ferries lead the eye to a silhouetted Statue of Liberty caressed by golden morning light. The entire composition is framed by a pyramid shape formed by ship cranes in the cargo docks along Brooklyn Heights. The photograph is a masterpiece of design. Sadly, the docks along Brooklyn Heights and the old ferries do not exist anymore.
