Central Park

An oasis

A place of a great beauty and peace amongst a busy, dirty city

Rows of tress are the playgrounds for thousands of birds and squirrels

The grassy knolls perfect for a picnic or a game of Frisbee

The winding paths busy with walkers and joggers

Children play at the water's edge

Their parents relax on a bench

The sounds of a jazz band are carried by a warm spring breeze

All kinds of people fill the park

Young couples, old couples

Businessmen, students

Musicians, Chocolateers

Butchers, vegetarians, and shoe salesmen  

All enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the park
