Golden light

 I couldn't resist the lovely golden early morning light in Crotona Park.

This park has been open in the Bronx for more than 100 years, and today, it’s a popular destination for naturalists, boasting 28 different tree species as well as a 3.3 acre lake home to turtles, ducks, and fish. It’s also home to the only swimming pool built in the Bronx by the Works Progress Administration, which is also the borough's largest.







The Crotona Play Center, which holds the pool, may also appeal to architecture buffs: the Art Deco building was constructed under the WPA and features a monumental arched brick entryway, two towers topped with skylights and an interior courtyard. It was landmarked in 2007.


Just a bit of comparison of seasons
