The right way to see the Statue of Liberty is from the water. Whenever I'm in New York City I love to take the Staten Island ferry—to have this view and be reminded of the good of this country.
It also reminds me of the opening theme of the 80s/90s sitcom Perfect Strangers.

Congrats to KÖLN 75 for being nominated for four German Film Awards! I hope I get to see this film one day. It tells the story of Vera Brandes, the promoter behind Keith Jarrett's 1975 improvized concert on a broken piano—which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.
