We have many parks here, some just big enough for a couple of benches. Athers are quite large. Central Park, of course, has made a name for itself.
With the obelisk behind the Metropolitan Museum picked as the end of our route, we went to Central Park West and entered the park just north of the lake across from the Museum of Natural History. (I don't know what it were giving away, but the line to enter, was doubled up around the block.)
Image 1 looks at the building along Central Park South. Image 2, practically from the same vantage point demonstrates that one can find some solitude.
Image 3, along with the first two, serves as a reminder that the park was built from scratch over a century and a half ago. (Look it up on Google if you're interested.)
When I was very much younger, I used to hunt, which involved looking for tracks and other indications of wild animals. Image 4 demonstrated my skill is still with me; if you look carefully you can see the dragon I spotted.
Images 5 & 6 are of and from Belvidere castle, overlooking Turtle Pond. The turtles and ducks are plentiful, probably because the are fed by visitors to their home - images 7-9.
Image 10 is the Egyptian obelisk. There is one other like it in Finland. The history is interesting, of course, but you won't find it here. You'll have to go to Dr. Google again.

Not sure that's correct. The other is Cleopatra's Needle in London, U.K.

Great set, David. Brought to memory the 7 years I lived in NYC, from '68, first as a diplomat stationed there, working at the Brazilian Treasury Delegation on the Rockefeller Center. I lived on the corner of 6th Avenue and 57th Street, just a couple of blocks from Central Park and thank you for your photos that brought me back to one of the places I enjoyed the most during my "relaxing" times from work.

Excellent! Many people think of Central Park as an area of Nature that was set aside. It was actually constructed.
