The family tree

"The Family" sculpture at Bleecker Playground in Manhattan.The image was was sculpted by Polish sculptor Chaim Gross in honor of former Edward L Koch's third term as mayor of New York in 1992.I read in one place that the sculpture is supposed to be of a circus family,perhaps acrobats.With small children being balanced by the parents however,I have to wonder.I wanted to just take a shot of the image suspended in the air because I like how the outstretched arms and legs (called limbs,also) blends in perfectly with the bare tree limbs and branches of these beautiful Linden trees you see here.There are Linden trees at a nearby park where I live in Brooklyn.I think they're really beautiful trees.May you and Your family have a blessed 2o16! www.nycgovparks.org/parks/bleecker-playground/history
