The Lake at Central Park

A view of Conservatory Water from afar.



Conservatory Water, where people actually race their miniature radio-powered boats. Woody Allen's apartment is also somewhere in the background.



I saw at least 3 Asian couples getting their wedding portraits taken. Perhaps there was a special group discount...



Bethesda Fountain/Angel of the Waters, located in the "heart of the park."


The lake near Loeb Boathouse, where people can paddle their rented boat around and pretend like they're lovers from the movie The Notebook...except they would be surrounded by a bunch of other people.



Bethesda Terrace.

A trio of "performers" managed to gather a crowd around the terrace to watch them do flips across the floor. The closing act involved the afrobat (that's what the performers called themselves because they were black) doing somersaults over four people who were bent over. Expectedly, the afrobats solicited money before they did their closing act, with some people giving as much as $40! For a cheesy act that was less than 40 minutes and involved more talking than performing, they made good money. If I was ever desperate and completely broke, I'm sure that I could twirl around like a ballerina and people would give me some money.
