Central Park http//www.topbreathtaking.com Central Park is an urban park in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It was initially opened in 1857, on 778 acres (315 ha) of city-owned land (it is 843 acres today[5]). In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park Pietro & Silvia https://www.flickr.com/photos/googlisti/4887748468 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2801821931 Julia Manzerova https://www.flickr.com/photos/julia_manzerova/3235232868 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2802670428 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2800501719 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2738122267 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2800442785 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2800335045 Julia Manzerova https://www.flickr.com/photos/julia_manzerova/3234382291 Mark Skrobola https://www.flickr.com/photos/skrobola/174718458 Eden, Janine and Jim https://www.flickr.com/photos/edenpictures/5382653969 Ed Uthman https://www.flickr.com/photos/euthman/2618234729 Mark Skrobola https://www.flickr.com/photos/skrobola/100581004 Rob Young https://www.flickr.com/photos/rob-young/898201198 Tomás Fano https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomasfano/2800394379 Ed Uthman https://www.flickr.com/photos/euthman/2618249077 Ed Uthman https://www.flickr.com/photos/euthman/2617636606 Mark Skrobola https://www.flickr.com/photos/skrobola/174718462 Aurelien Guichard https://www.flickr.com/photos/aguichard/4851123149
