BACK FROM NEW YORK (final chapter)

Some parts of Central Park are real breakout for the citizens of NY. All the curved paths are planned in contrast with the grid of the city in order that people might have a place to loose themselves. The only landmarks are follies like some ponds, the Reservoir, some pavillions or belvedere, but also iconic buildings surrounding the Park itself
