Gapstow Bridge revisited
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 1 April 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
I though I hadnt posted any shots from Central park of recent, so heres some I got last week
This one is of the Bridge I see most often when I go to Central Park, Gapstow bridge which goes over the Pond, I think this is my favorite of all the shots I have taken of it, was a lovely clear morning
Bahbahra appreciates the concern over her well being in yesterdays post, but she wants to assure you not sheep were injured in getting that shot
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

this is one of my favorites locations in central park. The bridge is wonderful to photograph any time of the year. Timeless and classic.

A truly wonderful picture of this beautiful location! Such a fairy tale quality to it, no doubt due to your superb presentation! Great detail and very nicely muted colors!

Love the light under the bridge.
Good detail to show us the building at the background, that gives information about the urban context.
Well done, JJ

This is such a beautiful stone bridge. I love how the vegetation is starting to show little signs of spring.

Très joli paysage. Je crois que j'aurais cadré en enlevant un peu du ciel blanc pour que les couleurs de la rivière éclatent encore davantage. Un pont magnifique qui me rappelle Central Park à NY !
