Central Park Foliage Wander

This wander is from early November, 2008 - my first fall in New York. Obviously I had to take a wander through Central Park once the leaves had changed.

I entered the park on 79th street and headed south toward the Boat Basin.

 

   

I made a loop around the Boat Basin and then headed east toward the Lake. Even though they don't change colour, I love willow trees:

  

 Bethesda Terrace:

  

   

   

 The Mall and Literary Walk. Unfortunately, no good foliage here when I went; I was a few days too late:

  

There was some good entertainment. I dj was playing in the bandshell, and the roller skaters/bladers running around. Its normally a pretty festive scene in this part of the park on sundays; lots of hippies in drum jam sessions, roller skaters, music, dancing -- always lots of characters to people watch....

  

.... like Batman riding his batbike:

 

It starting getting dark so the rest of my pictures are pretty poor quality. We headed south, past the Pond and onto the corner of 59th and 5th, and then home from there.
