City Hall Park, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Surrounded by centuries-old majestic government buildings that date back to 1812, this park provides a much-needed green spot in a bustling downtown area. At lunchtime each afternoon it springs to life when those working in the neighborhood come to relax, eat, and soak in sunshine on its grassy lawns.

For people-watching enthusiasts, the park provides a crosscut of New York life as government workers, jury members, and newlyweds visiting City Hall for their marriage licenses stroll through its grounds.

Its bike path, which leads directly to the Brooklyn Bridge, offers a different type of scenic view to cyclists pedaling through picturesque panoramas of some of the City's iconic public architecture.

Located at Broadway, park row and chambers street

Hello Lakshmi,

Indeed a nice green spot with tulips that give nice colors. The people in the backgroung adds life and perspective and do justice to your note. I like the deepness created with the distance to the fountain.

Have a nice day

Hello Lakshmi,
nice square in New York
for me
too much sharpened photograph,
This makes it difficult to identify species of flowers
but it is a matter of taste...

Hello Lakshmi,
Through the trees you catched a glimpse of City Hall. The colourful foreground and the lines of the small hedges lead us well towards the building. While we're aware that we are in the middle of the metropolis, the picture shows tranquility and relaxation.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Lakshmi

I like the natural lead in lines & perspective provided by the fg flowerbed stretching back to the distance. Good color & saturation with superb sharpness. The people add scale & context & the building at right adds interest. Tfs!

kato (6801) 2012-05-18 1:47

Hello Lakshmi,

You're capturing well this park scene by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see flower bed with colorful flower and greenery in park. Here seems to relax place for neighboring businessmen as you note. And, it's impressive in classical city hall in behind, too.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio
