Looking over the terrace
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 18 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
Recently I posted a shot of the Mall in Central park, this a shot taken at the other end of the mall looking away from the mall over Bethesda Fountain
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

Of course you have some snow-covered precious photos of. And you always choose well the hour of the day to photograph.

Central Park is so often 'swallowed' in photos of Manhattan, but it is HUGE and you're showing some of its best features, JJ ... keep it up, I love it.
I remember back in the late 80's walking from 73rd & Riverside (where our dtr. lived) over to Central Park West, and before we could cross and enter the park, a film crew in front of Yoko Ono's bldg., dragged a fire hose across the sidewalk with no warning and practically sent me to the sidewalk. Someone saw it happen and decided they'd better post a lookout so it didn't happen again!

Sali al parque, vacio...helado, un manto de nieve cubria gran parte de aquel lugar donde, creci, donde soñe...
Saludos.

You caught it at a great time with no one around. Love the pristine snow - the deserted look somehow adds a mysterious appeal to the snap.
