Central Park Bridge

I've shown a photo of this Central Park Bridge in the summer time, so I thought I'd show you what it looks like in a wintry setting. I'm not sure if the bridge has a name. I tried to find it but couldn't come up with anything. If you have today off, I hope you enjoy it. (I have to work!)

même idée que Marie-Noyale. Superbe pont (beau reflet). Tous ces ponts, rendent central-park très romantique. (c'est surement pour cela que l'on y voit autant de mariage)

same idea as Marie-noyaux. Great Bridge (good reflection). All these bridges, make-central park very romantic. (that is probably why we saw so many marriage)

Great photo, the couple gives it a sense of scale, too.

Forgotten NY has a comprehensive article on the bridges of Central Park, but it is too late for me to peruse at length now, need the zzz's. http://www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/arches/arches.html

Amazing the difference from Season to Season isn't it~! Love your winter scene.

I have the same kind of pictures from Lake Tahoe at different times, and it looks so different!

GAPSTOW

Location: takes park path over The Pond.. Built: 1896 by Howard & Caudwell. Made of Manhattan schist.

"The present Gapstow replaced the original wood and cast iron structure built by Vaux in 1874."

Took me until now to have a chance to finally look it up! The Central Park Bridge web pages on Forgotten NY are an interesting read.
