Here is a photo today of Walter Schott's statue Three Dancing Maidens found in Central Park's Conservatory Gardens. Here is some information about the gardens from the park's website:
The six-acre Conservatory Garden is Central Park's only formal garden. It takes its name from the huge glass conservatory that once stood on this same spot, built in 1898. In 1934, when maintenance of the facility had become too costly, the conservatory was demolished and replaced with the present Garden, which opened to the public in 1937. The Conservatory Garden is in fact three gardens representing different landscape styles: Italian, French, and English.
Have a nice week!

encore une superbe fontaine dans Central-Park, cette fontaine nous donne de la joie. Quand on se promene dans Central-Park, on a l'impression de toujours decouvrir de nouvelle statue.
still a superb fountain in Central Park, this fountain gives us joy. When one walks in Central Park, one has the impression always to discover of new statue.
Very nice photograph. I like the statue and find it appropriate in the place it is in. Also I read the story about how to garden came to be and found that was also interesting. I was born on the same year -- 1934.
Thank you for your visits to my blog and hopefully you enjoyed seeing me as Moses.

I prefer this kind of statue/fountain to most of the modern designs I see in parks today.
That's a pretty fountain. I like the statues they have chosen to put with it. Seems fitting.
Beautiful! So refreshingly alive!
I love that statue. It looks fun. Thanks,

beautiful fountain :) So joyful!
Wonderful! I don't remember seeing this statue, and I've surely passed very close by some day...
I adore these dancing maidens...What a delightful statue, I would sit and have lunch there if I lived close. I might even do a little dance with them!
What a lovely photo! I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea!
As you probably already know I simply adore fountains
I love this fountain!
