Description
A rustic wooden shelter rises above the landscape as the sunshine begins to emerge onto the flowers below in New York City's historic and iconic Central Park in rich black and white.
Central Park, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, is an urban park in New York City�s borough of Manhattan. The park initially opened in 1857 on 778 acres of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan to the current 843 acres, which they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction commenced that same year, continued through the American Civil War, and concluded in 1873. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States.
