Jessie on a Journey
A breathtaking scenic view of Central Park, a renowned urban park located in the heart of New York City. The image captures the iconic skyline of Manhattan, featuring towering skyscrapers in the background, with the majestic San Remo and Eldorado apartment buildings prominently displayed. In the foreground, a serene lake reflects the clear blue sky and puffy white clouds, creating a mirror-like effect. The lush greenery surrounding the lake, including reeds and other aquatic plants, adds a touch of natural beauty to the urban landscape. The image conveys a sense of tranquility and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, showcasing Central Park as an oasis of peace and respite.

Central Park's Urban Oasis

Sure, Central Park may be a tourist attraction, but it's also one of my absolute favorite places in NYC (not to mention a popular spot for wine picnicking on a sunny day for my friends and I). As a photographer the 843-acre park offers limitless opportunities for beautiful captures and activities, from bird watching to yoga classes to cycling and beyond. The park was established in 1857 to promote civil society and local wellness, and became a National Historic Landmark in 1962. Each year the site welcomes about 40 million visitors, but you can luckily still find quiet, secluded spaces that make you feel like you're away from any urban sprawl or crowds. What's your favorite peaceful spot in NYC?
