Central Park Lake by John Telfer


Beginning Of Central Park Lake




Central Park Lake

Photographed the beginning of the Central Park Lake before it opens up by the zoo and the bridges on a hot day in August. The 20-acre Lake is the second largest of Central Park's man-made water bodies. (The largest is the Reservoir.) Park designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux created the Lake from a former swamp, for boating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter.

The Central Park Conservancy is working on a comprehensive restoration of the Lake and its surrounding landscapes. With the waters edge having slowly crumbled and eroded through the years, the Conservancy set out in 2006 to stabilize its shoreline. The team excavated and removed excess sediments, then reconstructed the shoreline with rustic boulders on a stabilized gravel base.

Using a material called coir logs, the Conservancy reconstructed the shoreline with interwoven coconut fibers and bound together with biodegradable netting. Staked at the base of the slope where the normal water level meets the shoreline, the logs serve to protect the Lake's edge from birds and wave action erosion until plants can become established.

The coir logs are a sustainable solution to the Lakes restoration, and one that's helping preserve the beauty of its lush landscapes and the health of its wildlife habitat. They're also an example of how the Conservancy strives to implement smart, green practices throughout its operations in the Park.

Autumn In New York

Autumn in New York - Dora Sofia Caputo

I captured this image of Gapstow Bridge at Central Park, during a visit this Fall to that iconic place in New York City.

Curving gracefully over the neck of the Pond at 59th Street, Gapstow is one of the iconic bridges of Central Park. It is the second bridge on the site. The first, a much more elaborate wood and iron bridge, designed by Jacob Wrey Mould, deteriorated and was replaced in 1896.

The bridge offers postcard views of the surrounding cityscape. Facing south, you can see the famed Plaza Hotel and distinctive New York skyscrapers rising from above the Park's trees. Look southward in the winter and you'll see Wollman Rink's twirling skaters; in the warmer months you'll see the colorful amusements of Victorian Gardens.

I captured this image of an artist painting a landscape of the Central Park Bridge in New York City, on a walk the park last summer. It is very common in New York City and other places to find local artists crafting their work.

The Arcade In Central Park

I captured this image on the first day of the Art Workshop by Lillian Kennedy in NYC. It was a dreary rainy day in Manhattan, and it was the first time I had been to Central Park. It was still a very beautiful place, even on a dreary day.
