1. Oh!

I thought you'd hacked my photobucket account!

2. It's the greenest.

[ohiosmith]

3. Very cool!

[LiberalEsto]

4. Wow.

Amazing!

5. That Big Blue Spot in the Middle is the Jackie O Reservoir

It's 1.74 miles. When I was in better shape, I got up to 6 laps.

6. So what you're saying is...

you now eat cheetos and pizza like the rest of us?

11. If he / she did,

wouldn't that make him / her more buoyant?

7. Lovely!

[OriginalGeek]

8. Really cool

What's the building in the park on top by the reservoir? (That I just learned was a reservoir a couple posts up)

And what's the building in the little low-hanging chad of green on the bottom near the middle.

Those two things stand out to me so I figure they must be something lol...

It's worth going to the link and looking at the big version. Very cool, indeed!

10. The top I know for sure.

It's the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The bottom may be the Tavern On The Green restaurant.

13. Bottom is Museum of Natural History. nt

[Graybeard]

14. Aha, of course.

I was looking at a spot inside the park itself.

Thanks.

15. Ah, so they WERE something!

Man I need to get to NYC. It's on my list of touristy destinations. The closest I've been was flying past it in a little puddle jumper on a connecting flight from Philly going to Portland, ME. We could see the Statue of Liberty though and that was cool.

Thank you both for the info!

9. I know the article says to ignore the scale problems...

But I can't ignore them. Those buildings look freakishly tall.

Neat pic though.

12. 843 priceless acres.

The park is set among the most expensive, up-scale properties in the country. Apartments on Fifth Avenue (on the East side) and on Central Park West sell for many millions of dollars.

16. BTW, the Reservoir is no longer a working reservoir.

The city's water supply system has outgrown it, and it was decommissioned in 1993.

17. You can thank Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux

for that green and blue island in a sea of gray.

They also did Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

18. Definitely click on the link.

Much cooler as a bigger image.
