Monochrome Monday in Central Park

This is a post for monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos and for this post I decided to share a few of the sights in Central Park starting with this shot of the Angel of the Waters Fountain

The Fountain sculpture designed by Emma Stebbins in 1868 and unveiled in 1873, Stebbins was the first woman to receive a public commission for a major work of art in New York City. The bronze, eight-foot statue depicts a female winged angel touching down upon the top of the fountain, where water spouts and cascades into an upper basin and into the surrounding pool. It was the only statue in the park called for in the original design. Beneath her are four four-foot cherubs representing Temperance, Purity, Health, and Peace.

Next up here is a shot of the lower level of Bethesda terrace

Now I usually do shots of this feauture in the park in color and I do have shot sof it in color for a future post where I will talk more about it

Next up is Bow Bridge

The Bow Bridge is perhaps the most well-known bridge in Central Park, it is a cast iron bridge located in Central Park, and crosses over The Lake and used as a pedestrian walkway. It is decorated with an interlocking circles banister, with eight planting urns on top of decorative bas-relief panels. The bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, and completed in 1862. Measuring a total of 87 feet (26.5 m), it is the largest bridge in the park.

And finishing off with the Dome, at the end of the Mall close to Bethesdha terrace

The Bethesda Terrace is absolutely stunning and I can attest to the fact that I've never captured it quite this way. You have a way of making Interiors pop and really capture my attention. The angel he's always one of my favorites, perhaps because she's an angel and perhaps just because she's beautiful.

And might I say that while the bridge is one of the most photographed pieces in Central Park, not everybody can make it look quite as beautiful in that reflective moment that you used.

Have an amazing monochrome Monday!

@farm-mom(73)· 2564d
Good morning @tattoodjay. Beautiful pictures, love the one of the fountain. Keep it coming my friend, always enjoy your posts.

The last photo.. that's a cool dome / bandstand!! They painted the one in Orlando all rainbows!!! The one at the beach is still all aged and retro / Victorian looking tho..

Great shots! That is really cool the story about the fountain. It is great to see a woman being celebrated for her work. Especially at the time period it was created.
