Central Park has a variety of terrains including this rocky hill that overlooks the Upper East Side. Some of these hills can be 20 feet high and end with a steep drop onto the ground below. I have seen people sitting on top of these hills but I can never figure out how they get up there.Since I'm not an adventurous climber, I have never tried to get up on the hills myself. To see some photos of someone trying to climb down from the rock, click here.
When I go to Central Park, I usually take a leisurely walk around or rent a bicycle at the Boathouse Restaurant parking lot.

A nice photograph of a city that is so large most people who live there never get all around in their lifetime. I suppose it would be like visiting a different country or a different world if you went everywhere. I like the text that went with your photograph today.
I came to thank you for visiting my blog, yesterday, and for your comments about Patty's last radiation treatment. She was so pleased that I heard from so many people, including Eric, and I know it made her day extra-special. She was also surprised that some of you also visited her blog and left comments there. So thank you for your visit and comments. Being new to the community, it was a big surprise to us. Thanks again.

Very nice! I'm not so adventurous, but I'm having to retrain myself in CH. I feel like such a kartoffel over here.
Yesterday's photo with the reflection from the bench is well done!
lol, I wondered how they got up there too, I know I will never be one of them, but it's still wonderful to see them there.
I am longing for new york right now...painfully so.
that's a great perspective!
Wow, great photo! Your blog has so many beautiful photos!
I think that people get up there the taking the same route the guy did in your other link, only reversing the process. Your photo is a spectacular view of the park--nice angle!
Z: In Switzerland 20 feet is nothing? I mean, you are not adventurous in CH if you climb 20 feet, are you?
Ming (tm) and other New Yorkers: Whenever I visit NY I tend to end up in Central Park at some point. Guard it well! It's a nice place.
Here's a hill-shot of my park (Tanto) in Stockholm, Sweden. I live in the white-ish house on the immediate right side of the bridge.
Ming - as always, great NYC atmosphere that makes me homesick. Sometimes I try to check how connected I still am by identifying things in pictures - is that the GM Building on the right?
By the way, check out today's (Friday's) Buenos Aires CDPB post

I like those leafless trees/branches.
But somehow it reminds me of a witch's fingers. :O
I like the angle of this shot!
