Description
Bow Bridge and Autumn Perfection by Regina Geoghan. A beautiful blue sky, warm light, , gorgeous fall foliage, Bow Bridge and Central Park Lake - what a pleasrue to see this combination and photograph it, even though it was a frigidly cold day. A perfect season for a visit to Central Park and NYC. Bow Bridge is one of the most well-known and loved sites of Central Park by visitors and New Yorkers alike. Named for its bowed shape similar to the bow of a violin, it is the largest bridge in the park and was the first cast iron bridge in Central Park and only the second in the country. It is located in the middle of the park at 74th street, fronted by Bethesda Terrace and Fountain on the east side and connected with the Ramble and Cherry Hill sections of the park,. Eight cast iron urns adorn the bridge which were installed in 2008 and are replicas of the 1920 original urns. The bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould and completed in 1862. It measures 87 feet in length and crosses over Central Park Lake. To see more views of Central Park in autumn, please visit my New York City Central Park gallery. The compatible autumn colors and tones of the images make them good candidates for printing and hanging together as a collection.

Thanks so much Geri. I almost didn't go - it was so cold. Thought of waiting until the next day. Glad that I didn't wait - I had some lovely light to work with.

Will this be your 7th of 8th coffee table book? Gorgeous!
Regina Geoghan replied:
LOL Thanks Paul. Was just thinking that yesterday that it would be a fun subject for a coffee table book. Need more Spring and Summer photos of the park so that will have to wait - but a good motivation.
