Central Park in Manhattan New York, where urban culture meets and mixes with nature, is one of the most visited urban parks in the world.
A visit in mid December and it is still ebbing and flowing with life and natural beauty.
The trees stand tall and bare now, but that just shows off the starkness of nature against the backdrop of urban skyscrapers.
It is an intriguing mix.
The whole park is framed by the city and as the December sun shines, the remaining leaves on the trees and the fallen autumn leaves give a beautiful bronze sheen to a now barren landscape.
Squirrels scarper down from the trees, they are clearly used to being fed!
The ice rink is busy ready for the holidays and brightens up the landscape to a festive mood of fun and enjoyment. Horses and carriages parade the parameters leisurely carrying visitors in the crisp December chill.
Wander along a little further and there is a wonderful Christmas Market on the edge of the park, brimming with a medley of arts and crafts and street foods from all over the world.
Perfect for some festive shopping.
Trees glisten in a natural copper haze against the glass of the buildings as you head towards it; they almost beckon you to come along and enjoy yourself.
