    Nice Burmese!

    I suppose everyone knows that Frederick Law Olmsted’s plan for the park was not to be fully realized for fifty years.

    @eclare: Yup, and this

     

    Thanks to Olmsted’s impressive administrative and leadership skills, the USSC successfully aided thousands of soldiers. Using the same logical, analytical approach he applied while managing the Central Park project, Olmsted developed a series of procedures and protocols that enhanced USSC operations.

    By the war’s end, the USSC, in addition to treating many thousands of wounded soldiers, worked with 286 local aid societies, from which it obtained millions of dollars in supplies and donations. Furthermore, the Commission conducted 1,482 camp inspections, advised army medical staff, and established a veterans’ bureau to aid returning soldiers. The USSC was a remarkable achievement—one that gave Olmsted great pride and satisfaction.

    Lovely.  I miss Central Park.  It was one of the best tj info about being in NYC when I was young.

    There go two miscreants

    Great pix, especially (to me) the penultimate one looking down the path at the pines. If it snows this winter you should do a set on the High Line!

    @raven: Bernese not Burmese. Berne is a city in Switzerland . Burma is a country in SE Asia

    ETA Berne has snow. Burma doesn’t have snow.

    These are lovely, both individually and as a set. It’s a fun jolt to see pictures of an iconic place in a different season from the more common images. Plus, my only visit to Central Park was on a stunningly beautiful April day, but these make me want to visit in the winter, too.

    Olmsted also designed the Emerald Necklace in Boston, though parts of it (including Boston Common) predate him.

    Thank you all! I am really glad you liked the pictures. Which aren’t even pictures. They’re stills form videos. Hmm, I wonder if you might like to see the actual videos/clips from the videos?
