Perfect Spring Day at Bethesda Terrace (Central Park)

A short clip (30s) from Central Park on a gorgeous spring (2023) day...

Here you see & hear a singer performing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", while over her are the unique and stunning 19th-Century encaustic "Minton" tiles.

Article about these tiles: Central Park's Bethesda Terrace Arcade

Newlyweds and models pose for photographers nearby. Behind the arches is the famed "Angel of the Waters" Fountain.

Angel of the Waters

Reminded of a book whose cover my photograph appears on, "One Day's Perfect Weather" (Daniel Stern, 1999). On that is a little gazebo/boat stop on the Central Park Lake. You can see that image @ http://www.fenichel.com/cpboat.htm

Mid nineties Peter and me won the 2nd prize in an art competition in Neumarkt i.d. OPf, Germany. The task was to design the inner courtyard of the local high school... I designed the octagon and the waterfall with the water coming from underneath the sculpture. The inox work was done by a friend from the Linz Kunstuni. The granite squares are 700x700 mm / 27.6x27.6in. It is Aalfanger granite

In the middle on a granite stand there is Peter's sculpture, named Karyatide.

Angel of the Water

Which one(s)? These are all straight from camera, lo-res. Sifting....
About halfway through the walk; next up geese &/or turtles - or flowers?

Central Park, 2 Sept 2021 - The day after remnants of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Ida paid a visit.
