This post is for the #wednesdaywalk challenge started by @tattoodjay. He often posts pictures of his walks around New York City so I thought I would post some more of my photos from a trip I took a long time ago to the "Big Apple".
It has actually been so long ago, that I don't remember what a lot of the photos are of. In fact, many of the features that I have photographed may no longer be there. Additionally, my camera was great for the time, but by today's standards, it is woefully lacking...
I think the pictures do a good enough job speaking for themselves though. So here we go!
I took this picture not just because of the cool bridge, but also because of the turtles that were sunning themselves on the rocks. Can't see them?
How about now? One of the cool things about my digital camera back then was it had a pretty decent optical zoom. This allowed me to get some decent close up shots without the camera guessing and pixelization like you get with digital zoom.
I didn't think of it, but I should have thrown this picture out there for #treetuesday. It was an interesting looking fella that was twisted and wrapped all around the pole.
I'm always impressed by the number of fountains in large cities. They tend to be a focal point and a place that people want to congregate. This small fountain though was on the edge of the gardens I think based on the buildings in the background. You can see there are a couple of benches to sit next to it, but none that really give you a straight ahead view.
One of the centerpoints of the garden is this sphere on a pedestal. It has rows of shrubs around it that gave me the impression of a maze. I used to love mazes when I was a kid so this area really hit home with me.
As I was going through the pictures for this post, I came across this one and the first thing I thought was "man, they need to mow their lawn". Isn't it funny how I was probably captivated by the blue flowers blowing in the breeze when I took this photo and now that I am older it just makes me think about work!
I have six pictures very similar to this one. Most of them are blurry though. My guess is I was trying to play with a prolonged exposure to try and capture the water in a "stopped" state. I think the camera just wasn't up to the task. Either that or my skills weren't as good back then as I thought they were.
And finally, one last waterfall to close out this Wednesday.
If you ever get a chance to go to Brooklyn and visit the botanic garden, I highly recommend it. Though Central Park in Manhattan is much bigger, the botanic garden has more of a peaceful vibe with many areas to explore!

Its been a few years since i visited THe Brooklyn Botanic Gardens but I do agree with you it does have such a peaceful relaxing vibe to it, and your photos captured that feeling very well, Central Park is huge of course and you get the feel to rush through it if that makes sense, in BBG you just want to take your time and relax and enjoy the lovely scenery
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk !tip
Thank you!
MOst welcome my Friend
Ah... Japanese style gardens are the best! It is nice in a city to be able to find one of these, and find a bit of peace and tranquility in the middle of a busy city!
For sure! Well said!

Very inspiring photos! I suppose that such a walk is very relaxing and restores a large amount of life energy and gives peace of mind and a positive mood for the whole day or even a week.
Indeed. I love being out in nature. I think that is part of the reason my wife and I enjoy camping so much!
