A Bridge in Central Park

I started off today with a photo walk with Junko in eastern PA, before the last morning of the conference she and I were attending. Then, the three hour ride back to NYC, a few hours in the city before catching our flight, and a flight home with mostly processing the weekend's photos. Despite the choices of photos today, I kept coming back to this one. Many of you probably remember Michael's ( @michaelelliott) photo of Alice, taken here. Junko ( @jyokota) and I recognized the spot right away. This is my attempt to capture how beautiful it is there.

Gorgeous photo. I love this spot -- wonderful juxtaposition of city & country feel.

[Hope D Jennings]

The rustic bridge and river bank juxtaposed with the sleek lines and angles of the tall buildings and their reflections make this image beautiful and surreal to me. fav .really cool.

Nice processing - stylish and nothing is too much "in your face".

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

What a terrific shot! Love the old bridge and nature versus the new architecture and that gorgeous reflection.

[Junko Y]

Another reason I like this is that the weather forecast of 80% chance of rain is evident in the sky . . . threatening, but fortunately, held off.

[Sharon Lee]
