Gapstow bridge
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 7 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
And this is the bridge I see often on my short walk through the park
Really love the reflections on the water in this
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Simply breathtaking! I find it interesting how the reflection is more pronounced than the rest of the frame.

Lovely image. I'm surprised the water doesn't have frozen parts. I love the blue in the water.

Very pretty bridge and scene, you got it perfect here, the framing and composition, with the reflection in the water is nicely done. Even more details under the bridge is clearly seen.

Central Park has so many lovely spots - lucky you to be able to walk into it often.
Are your office walls covered with your work? If not, they probably should be!

Terrific shot of a place I remember so well from childhood, it hasn't changed -- one of the terrific things about Central Park in a city that is always transforming itself.

This is lovely. I hadn't realised Central Park was so beautiful.
No coke bottles or Big Mac wrappers floating in the pond either
