the towers
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 19 February 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
Another shot of one of the walkways in Central park with the San Remo and the El Dorado buildings in the background, this was before the last snow falls
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

Precious view of Central Park. The curve that produces the way and the trees gives much emphasis to the image.

How lovely this is in the soft light, JJ. The Eldorado is such a landmark.

I love how the curves of the fence, the walkway and the trees draw the eye towards the building. Great composition!

Were these always known as "The Towers"? When I saw the title, made me think of 9/11.....
It's a lovely shot!!

@Susan: Thanks Susan, and thinking about it now perhaps my title wasnt the most thought out
I believe there sometimes called the Eldorado,and others say there the San Remo and Eldorado towers

Beautiful light on the Towers. Interesting that some leaves are still hanging on. I like that lone walker in the background.

This park is simply amazing in terms of the photo-ops that it provides. Very interesting snap juxtaposing the green of the park and the concrete of the city.
