Statue

Gecen hafta, annemle birlikte Ozgurluk heykeline gittik. Aslinda daha once de gitmistik ama bu defa heykelin icine girip tam 334 dar merdiveni tirmanip tacina kadar ciktik. Kapali yerde kalma korkumu biraz tetiklese de tamami elle yapilmis bu guzel heykeli bir de iceriden gormek unutulmaz bir deneyimdi. Amerika'ya Fransa tarafindan hediye edildiginde aslinda parlak kirmizi bakir rengi olan renginin, deniz tuzu ve nemden yavas yavas yesile donmesi guzelliginden hicbir sey almadigi gibi aksine inanilmaz bir hava katmis ona; Fransa heykelin yapiminda bunu hesap etmismiydi bilmiyorum ama gercekte bozulan bir seyin bu kadar guzel bir hale donusmesi harika..Keske her bozulan guzellik baska bir guzellige donusse gercek hayatta da. Kendinize iyi bakin, sevgiyle kalin :)

Last week we went up to see the Statue of Liberty with my mother. In fact, I was up to the pedestal before. This time, though, I've been all the way up to the crown. I must admit it felt a bit claustrophobic to climb the extra-tight stairs (334 steps). I was so impressed how perfect and smooth the copper sheaths were formed considering they were hand-forged, as well as the simple yet fascinating chemistry that gradually turned the shiny copper tone into verdigris. I took some photos from the crown, so enjoy..
