SIX VIEWS NEAR BOW BRIDGE INSIDE CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK

SIX VIEWS NEAR BOW BRIDGE  INSIDE CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK..( Morning, Daytime. Afternoon, Sunset, Evening and Night )

A forest in the heart of the city, a huge breathing space in the crowded concrete structures , arguably one of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a manmade wonder in New York City.  Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited, with over 30  million guests per year.

Set in the middle of bustling Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe haven, not only for athletes, daydreamers, musicians, and strollers, but also for teems of migratory birds each year.  One can spend an entire peaceful day roaming its grounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges and arches.

With recreational facilities abounding, the more energetic won’t have a problem finding a spot to skate, pedal, row, dribble, or climb to his or her heart’s delight.  Although Central Park has 21 official playgrounds, we like to think of it as one gigantic jungle gym in its peak season.

                                           

Bow Bridge is one of the most iconic and photographed features of Central Park. Built in 1862, this Victorian-era bridge spans 60 feet across the Central Park Lake and connects Cherry Hill and the Ramble.The bridge's elegant arches, intricate ironwork, and sweeping views of the lake and surrounding parkland have made it one of the most recognizable and beloved landmarks in the city. 

This cast iron bridge was featured in films such as Autumn in New York, Kal Ho Na Ho ( Hindi ) ,Keeping the Faith, Little Manhattan, Spiderman -3, Uptown Girls, The Way We Were, Enchanted (2007)  and Manhattan. The bridge stretches over the lake and leads you right to Cherry Hill.

Further , Bollywood movies such as Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, My Name is Khan, New York, Jaan-e-Mann, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Anjaana Anjaani, etc have also been filmed in New York with Pier 17, Manhattan Bridge, Grand Central Station, Central Park, Times Square and other famous landmarks in New York city .

"Teray  ḳhanuman-ḳharabon ka chaman koyi  na sahra,

Ye jahaan bhi baith jaayien vaheen in ki baargaahein.."

(Those rendered homeless and wanderers ,

belong neither to the garden nor to the  desert,

Wherever they sit , they make their noble presence known.)
