A walk in Central Park

Kristy Tailford is back in town to wreak havoc in all the post-Thanksgiving / pre-Christmas sales. Of course, they don’t start until… well, Thanksgiving… so until then it looks like she’s stuck doing touristy things. And, after seeing Jo’s fabulous pictures from the Reservoir at Central Park, I decided that I needed to see it for myself (to be honest I don’t know how I’ve not seen it until now), so I headed up there with Kristy KT “Tails” yesterday afternoon.

It’s beautiful! A huge lake, pretty much smack-bang in the middle of Central Park. The air was fairly still, so we got some fantastic photos of the reflections of the buildings lining the upper west-side of the park.

Being a Sunday, there was a patload of runners doing their 1.58 mile laps around the lake. Fitness gerrod wished that he could have been one of them, but sore ankle gerrod mocked him until he was silenced.

I’ll have to get myself back to The Reservoir another time when I have more light to work with (curse these ridiculously short days!), as I think photos from the west-side (i.e. looking east) would also be a treat. Still, a short visit was not without its benefits; we got a free transfer onto a bus for our trip back home!
