Nice day to sit by the pond
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 15 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.
I have a few other people shots from the park, but will stop the series for now with this shot giving an idea of how busy the Park was on this day
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

Impressive. The colorful one is fantastic. What it calls to me more the attention is that resistance between nature and cement. The field in the city.

Here is where I salute your photography skills. Till now, the way you had presented the earlier shot I always thought where are the people, why don't they come to this beautiful park. And now I am thinking how did you manage that. :-)

It's been raining a lot in Missouri so it's refreshing to view a sunny day. I am curious to know what was happening to draw so may people. Were they looking at anything besides the reflections in the water?

Have I even mentioned how part of my youth involved The Plaza Hotel, or more accurately the bar in the Plaza? I vaguely remember my time at the lower end of the park :)
