Central Park Adventures Part II


For my Canadian readers, I managed to find a Tim Horton's just a few blocks from here. I have not been to a Tim Horton's in years! So, I had to drop in and get a donut and coffee. Their coffee is way better than Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. Like everything else on that street, it was run by Indians who could barely speak English.

I had my third try for a run around the circumference of Central Park, and I made it three quarters of the way around (about 9k). Now my legs REALLY hurt. I wondered around the southern half, and found fountains and high lookouts, as well as monuments.

For some reason lots of people in Central Park speak French. Everywhere else in New York I hear Spanish or Russian, but just the Central Park area has lots of French speakers. Say, about a full quarter of people I hear speaking are doing so in French.

There are very many subjects in Central Park to photograph. There is the landscaping, monuments, surrounding buildings, and the people themselves. I'm waiting until I get my DLSR up here before trying anything really creative. And the weather has not been very good for photos either.
