Manhattan Fantasy in Bryant Park


Manhattan Fantasy in Bryant Park
Originally uploaded by randubnick.

This image is of the fountain in Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library in Manhattan, an amazing park that is full of surprises. I took this picture two years ago, about this time of year, when we made a weekend trip down to pack up the Newark apartment because Mel would be going to Belfast. Yesterday, I came across the original photo, then cropped it to focus on the curving lines of the fountain and the trees. I noticed that one of the buildings in the background had disappeared into the sunlight, but with a little digital watercolor in Painter IX, the building reappeared. But that's the only fantastic part of the photo; the fountain exists, and although you might not believe your eyes, Bryant Park is real.
