How many people take Central Park for granted? Central was the first of the great public parks in our nations history. A two and a half mile long by a half a mile wide park right smack in the middle of Manhattan. What a great oasis. Want to escape and relax and unwind? Than the park is the place to go. If you can't get to the park, or if you live far away, you can look at my photos. My goal in photography is to try and capture the emotion of the moment when I press the shutter on my camera. I consider a photo successful when I can look at the photo and experience the same feelings and emotions at the time I took the photo. I can meditate looking at the photo. Its so relaxing, its the next best thing to being there. I hope you enjoy my photos.

The Gapstow bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in Central Park. This photo was taken looking south towards Central Park South.

You would never think this is in the middle of NYC!

How about a ride in a horse drawn carriage?
