3. Central Park looks so peaceful in the snow.

Central Park is not simply a geographic destination, nor just the essential masterpiece of landscape architecture and great creative accomplishments of the nineteenth century. Once you add people and time, it becomes an ever-evolving work of art and performance art. It is central to our thinking, our style, and our magnificence. - Andrew Blauner @nyonair || #nyonair
