Sunny morning portrait red leaves Japanese Maple golden yellow leaves autumn trees, The Pond, central Park South, New York

---

Central Park, opened in 1857 on 843 acres ( square kilometres) of city owned land, was enlarged and re-landscaped in 1873. The picturesque Pond, at its southern end, occupies the site of a stream that once flowed into the East River from the west side of Manhattan Island. An elderly New York couple told me these were the best autumn colours seen in several years.
