We Are Opposed To Assimilation!

Now for something different..

Central Park

Sunday in the Park - Pt 2 - A serene Erhu Concert, in Bethesda Arcade, Central Park (NYC)

Heavenly #erhu #music in Central Park - Part 2

My 1st goal - aside from exercise & enjoying a beautiful Sunday in the Park- was to inaugurate & test a new camera.
✔︎
A 2nd goal was to get some more/better images of the famous and beautiful ceiling.

Designed by Jacob Wrey Mould and created in the 1860s, the Arcade features a stunning tiled ceiling with more than 15,000 colorful, patterned encaustic tiles from England’s famous Minton Tile Company. These elaborate tiles were originally used on the floors of European cathedrals. Bethesda Arcade is the only place in the world where these special tiles are used for a ceiling! [cenralpark.com]

Video1 was grabbed with an iPhone, which I must say did a nice job. This 2nd one, after scrambling to set up the new camera, is in true 4K and (for me) 'feature length' - long compared to my nature snippets. Be sure, if viewing on hi-res-big/bright screen, to set the YT player (gear at bottom of picture) to 4K, if it didn't choose it with the 'auto-set'). It makes a difference in "being there", as the mix of serene music and people and pets strolling by and up/down the Bethesda Terrace stairs... Serene. And I guess the camera works ok.
Sorry for the shake - hand-held and trying to realistically 'look around' and also get some screen-grab-quality images of the tiles.]

Enjoy!

Sunday in the Park
Central Park NYC 18 Aug 2024

Today the predicted rain and thunderstorms held off until nearly sunset, a gray and eerie light in the park meanwhile.

I revisited my 'power spot' (with the boat house) and saw music at the band shell (quite percussive) . Then I headed to the Bethesda Terrace promenade by the fountain, my goal being to revisit the Italian mosaic tiles, above this man from China, playing the erhu.

Despite the arrests and attacks...activities in support of Palestine continue in New York

It's so disgusting to see how American police treating these peaceful protesters compared to neo nazis attacking BLM a few years ago.

And also, I'm so sick of the silence of the majority of the people around the world in what is now the most well documented non stop war crime and crime against humanity in our history.

Only a few brave people out their risking everything to defend the little humanity we have left.
