What I love above all, it is the
skyline which extends beyond trees
and seizes the squirrels marvelously,
the gold of the lake, the metallurgical
foundry where trees shape as
workers, delicate sweat of lampposts,
everything is just like the impatience,
silversmiths caress the gaping flowers,
” Where are you Jenny? ” I am
in your lap, the arithmetic is of no use,
New Yorkers run in all directions,
pressed as hamburgers to be sold
in a shop window, they are the
most beautiful, the richest, the simplest
the most clever if Central Park,
if central Park listen to their sorrows.

This is it. You nailed it, yann. When I have been to Central Park I have felt this, but never knew how to express feelings with words. Thank you.

I lived in New York for a few years, yann. Central Park only listens to Central Park. It is such a nice place, beauty-wise, to be so ugly reality-wise, especially at night. I assume it is still that way, it has been many years since I've been there, but some things never change.

Incredible imagery! Your vision of the Central Park is extremely captivating, dear Yann.

Your secret lies in the ability to merge with your subjects till you see with "their" eyes. Fantastic!

Love,
M

thanks a lot Jerry, I confess that is is an unique and magical place, I don't want to generalize my opinion about new yorkers neither you, it is a poetical work above all and the truth is nowhere, thanks for the supportive comment,

Yann, I have only been to Central Park once - and that was with you a few moments ago. I really appreciated your drawing my attention to its richness, and I can still see you pointing your finger at the various treasures - especially the trees and the horizon and the squirrels . . . oh, the squirrels, the squirrels, the squirrels!

thank you diana for the kind comment, This is a unique place to visit, a green place in the middle of the city which never sleeps, this is all about contrast between trees and marvellous façades where can rest the look and the mind, if I have a power point about central park I will mail it to you, thanks again for the warm comment,

have a nice day
