Bethesda Fountain, Central Park




More from Central Park. This is the Bethesda Fountain and the Angel of Waters statue. The statue was designed in 1873 and is located mid-park at 72nd Street. Of course, I walked a mile and a half before finding it right where we entered the park at Strawberry Fields. The body of water seen beyond the fountain is known as the Lake. At 22 acres it is the largest body of water in the park, if you don't count the 106 acre Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir up between 86th and 96th Streets. The bottom picture is a panorama made from five separate pictures.
