Urban Park Green — Central Park Aerial
155.11 €
An aerial view of Central Park, New York City — the rectangular park bordered by the orthogonal grid of Manhattan, the green interior contrasting with the surrounding urban density.
Description
Frederick Law Olmsted’s Central Park — 341 hectares of designed natural landscape inserted into the middle of the most dense urban grid in the world — presents an extraordinary aerial photography subject: the radical contrast between the organic landscape design of the park interior and the perfect orthogonal geometry of the surrounding Manhattan grid. This aerial photograph, made from a helicopter at 800m altitude in late October when the deciduous trees are at peak colour, captures the full extent of the park from Central Park South to 110th Street — the autumn-coloured natural landscape bordered on all four sides by the built environment it was designed to provide relief from.
