Certainly a gift for me and good ol’ iPhone 6 walking around Central Park for a couple of hours yesterday after the snow. Not a lot of snow, maybe 10 inches or so, but enough to on bring the beauty of winter. These snaps are one result, and they’re my gift to you.
Looking down onto Bethesda Fountain minus the usual crowds but nonetheless a source of delight for those who positioned themselves so perfectly for my snap.
The remarkable tree at the top of Naturalists Gate at Central Park West and 77th Street.
Four elves cleverly disguised as…what? I’m still not sure, but they are cute.
Back to Bethesda Fountain, this time it’s my shadow selfie moment.
The Pond with Bow Bridge in the background. Yes, I’ve several thousand more snaps of this bridge.
Same pond as above.
And, yes, the same pond.
President Lincoln outside the New-York Historical Society.

And sometimes just looking down is reason enough to look down.

You are so lucky to be able to maneuver through the snow. I used to run to the botanic gardens I liked the pond the best.

It is not that we can compete with grandeur of the Capital of the world, but with the proper shoes even in Brooklyn a chance encounter with one or two good snow-people is possible :}
