Can I use my own pictures that I have taken for and resell them

I would like to know if I take pictures of buildings, and skylines like the Empire State buiding, the Statue of Liberty, the Hancok buiding, the Chicago lake front, can I make those into jigsaw puzzles and sell them if they are my own pictures I have taken?

Yes, the photos are yours and the common law copyrights to those photos belong to you once you take the photos, and you're free to make other works like jigsaw puzzles out of the photos. No one owns the images of those landmark buildings and skylines.
