Description: Located in the heart of Central Park, Bethesda Terrace is a superb gathering place. It was originally conceived of as the Park’s most prominent display of art and architecture by Calvert Vaux. His approach to the buildings in the Park was to design them as subordinate to the design of the landscapes, but the Terrace was the Park’s showpiece. As you might imagine, the Terrace is a great place for people watching which made it incredibly difficult to capture without huge crowds. For several days I watched and patiently waited, trying to capture the best light. When the moment had finally arrived, I was ready with my tripod and camera in position. Just before I snapped the shutter, a woman carrying an umbrella walked into my composition and blocked the light in the center tunnel. At first I was annoyed, but then it became immediately apparent that she had significantly enhanced the landscape. I quickly reeled off several snaps before she disappeared into the park. It was truly an incredible moment in one of New York’s most beautiful landmarks.
