Bethseda Terrace
Bethesda Terrace in Central Park has a wonderful sequence of views. Approaching from the top of a staircase, where this photo was taken, leads you under the arches of the bridge and into the lower passage pictured here.The lower passage has 15,000 colourful tiles on the walls and ceilings which reflect the indirect light coming in and brighten the space. Leaving the passage brings you out into the full daylight of the plaza/fountain.
This busker has one of the prime locations in New York. Great acoustics and lots of foot traffic funnelled past him.
I had to be patient taking this photo. There were a lot of people going through the passage and stopping to listen to the musician. I didn’t mind having some people in the photo but I didn’t want so many that they distracted from the architectural elements, the musician’s silhouette and the symmetry.
