TRAVEL THEME: PARKS
I recently visited New York City and Alisa’s Travel Theme: Parks came just in time for me to share more of the photos I took while there.
CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY
Below are a few of the many photos I took of Central Park, “the world’s most famous park and the first landscaped public park in the United States.”
ROMANCE IN THE PARK
CAMPING OUT
( If you have time after checking out of the hotel and before your plane or bus leaves
for home, why not camp out and relax in the park. )
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Central park really is the jewel in the crown of NYC. I cannot imagine that city without it.

This was my first trip to the park and only saw a small segment of it for the short period of time I was there. It is a beautiful place.

Aww, love the romance in the park shot 🙂

I have never seen Central Park in ‘real life’…but these photo’s certainly bring it to life for me. They are beautiful.

This is a place I would like to see as it is often mentioned in books, movies, etc. Seeing your pictures now makes me want to see it even more 🙂

I love NY. Your pictures bring back memories of my trips there. I ESPECIALLY love the horses, dressed up as if for a party! Thanks…

How beautiful Francine, is it true that its dangerous after dark or is that an urban myth?

It’s a wonderful park, Francine. So much going on there all the time.

I used to live so close to Central Park in the early 1980s. It was so open then. On a recent trip I was distressed to see how much of the park is fenced off! All the fencing made me feel like I was being corralled, like a farm animal. I’m not claustrophobic, or anything, but it bothered me very much. I know there are designated areas where you’re free to actually feel the earth and walk on the grass, but all the fencing is very limiting and controlling. And, it spoils a lot of the park’s beauty. They need to free up the park, so it’s once again the people’s park . . . and not just a tourist attraction.
