FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Central Park Rocks

Taken May 1, 2025

Strolling through Central Park in New York City is always a pleasure. But one thing I have always loved is the spectacular geology on display. Throughout the park, billion year old schist frames the highly designed landscape. The exposed outcrops provide a playground for climbing, landmarks to navigate, and scenery unlike any other. It’s a tangible reminder of the raw bedrock that underlays the City - making the skyscrapers feasible and defining the character of the urban fabric.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!

For those desperate for some wall decor or simply infatuated with one of my photos, prints are now available for a nominal fee - basically ‘at cost’. Send me an email with your request, and I’ll make it happen.
