Central Park is getting that very rosy glow.
Here are a few photos we’ve seen of the park as it starts to enter peak foliage season. We’ll continue updating the gallery.

This is what Central Park looks like when you’re a Trump:

If you have your own great foliage shots, please send to info@westsiderag.com and we’ll add them to the gallery. One personal preference: you don’t need special filters to shoot foliage, just let the natural brilliance come through!
Such beautify in the middle of the City! Unfortunately is developers get their way more and more of the Park will be plunged into shadow and trees, grass and humans will be the losers.
what a wonderful, corny idea. one of the things about the west side rag that i love.
Quite a beautiful spread. Thanks!
Indeed, Pedestrian, is sadly very right. Please read the recent Op-Ed in the NYTimes about shadows in Central Park to be cast by the new mega-millionaires’ towers (which add nothing to our city, not even much in tax revenue): https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/29/opinion/shadows-over-central-park.html?smid=fb-share
RE: “… the new mega-millionaires’ towers (which add nothing to our city, not even much in tax revenue)”
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT THAT!
Proof? Read Gina Bellafante’s column in today’s (Sunday’s) New York Times’ Metropolitan section.
Ms. Bellafante, who is consistently uber-liberal and anti-Bloomberg, admits that:
“Over the past fiscal year, city revenue from taxes on income-producing property was greater than revenue from sales and income taxes combined. Real estate-related taxes (including property, commercial rent, mortgage recording, transfer and hotel occupancy taxes) totaled $22.6 billion, roughly a third of the city’s total budget.”
If real-estate transactions bring in that much revenue then Mike Bloomberg’s ‘we need more millionaires’ remark is totally on target.
It’s ‘Oh, so au courant’ to be populist and anti-wealth these days, isn’t it?
And isn’t it just horrid when reality and the facts contradict your fondest beliefs?
