Here's a picture that I took a few weeks ago of the reservoir in Central Park and the fountain which was turned back on this summer. Here is some information about it from http://www.easynewyorkcity.com/,“The Reservoir, named the "Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir" in 1994, is a favorite Central Park attraction for joggers, bird watchers, and tourists who enjoy some of the best views of the New York City skyline. The 106-acre water body, holds over a billion gallons of water and was completed in 1862 while the Park was under construction. The reservoir no longer distributes fresh water to Manhattan residents but it provides fresh water to the Pool, the Loch, and the Harlem Meer.”

That looks like a lake in the middle of NYC!
That is a huge reservoir! I was not aware of that, that it is so big! Great photograph! Is it still on?
Splendid panorame, (to see at the most absolutely enlargement!):D
Amazing to find such a big body of water in the center of NY! That's a pity it cannot distribute fresh water anymore.
The water jet in the center is cool.
Oh wow! This picture is amazing.
The photo is so clear and looks to be nice outside.
The reservoir is a great place for a walk, with fabulous views over 5th Av. and Central Park West!
Very nice pic! I had absolutely no idea there was a fountain in it. I guess I need to start running again... ;)
This is a great photo of your city. Really well done, and I had no idea the lake was named after Mrs. Kennedy.
Wonderful photo, great color and detail.
