| The statue at the southern end of Central Park is of General William Tecumseh Sherman
(1820-92). I guess he came from New York. |  |
 |
There are small ponds and bridges as we wander north. |
 |
The ubiquitous city dweller the world over - the starling. No fear of
people. |
| Another bridge. It can be
hard to realise you are in the heart of a huge city. |  |
 |
Only the skyline gives it away. |
| A rather more bizarre
figure - this is a statue of Wladyslaw Jagiello, King of Poland 1386-1434
and the victor over the Teutonic aggressors in 1410. Go figure.... |  |
 |
A map of the park which is over two miles long and about 6 city blocks wide.
We made it about halfway up (about 20 blocks) having walked from 33rd St
first. |
| A faux castle in the
middle. I guess we would call it a folly. |  |
 |
Turtles in Turtle Pond below the castle walls. |
| Close up I think they are
really ugly. |  |
 |
One of several statues outside the Shakespeare theatre - Romeo and Juliet.... |
| The open air Shakespeare
theatre viewed from the folly. |  |
 |
The rings are for baseball - but not at a professional level. |
| Just to show we were
there and it was sunny. |  |
