This shot was taken a few days after Obama’s first inauguration 4 years ago on my way back north. I toured Ellis Island and saw Lady Liberty up close for the first time, before meeting up with some friends at MSG for a Knicks game and heading home.

It reminds me of song by the band Oasis, which includes the lyrics:

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it’s good, it’s good, it’s good to be free
