I didn´t know superman was interested in international architecture :cheers:

Wow great picture!....i have never been to new york so i have a question is that a bridge in the middle of the lake?

actually it's a reservoir, and it's not really a bridge, you could say it's a road that passes through it.
I never took any pics of it, but here's what I found:

hope that answers your question. :)

The thing that blows my mind is that this is just a fraction of the city.....crazy.

i guess this was taken few years back. only the foundation of the Time Warner Center is built

yes that answers my question, thank you :)

that's one mindblowing aerial!

central park looks like the ultimate getaway from the concrete and brick jungle of manhattan. it's so lush and green, the best city park ever in the world.

Does the website this is from have images of the rest of Manhattan? It would be cool if someone could stich them all together into a map...

You can get a really good idea of how huge the park is because you can see all the city blocks it intersects.

I know it'd never happen, but I've always wondered how good it would look if they stuck a tall tower (1000+ footer) somewhere inside the park. It'd have the ultimate views. Problem would be access to it though.

An observation tower around the great lawn would be cool.

That reservior is such a waste of space.

yup

do they have doofs in the park?

I love Central Park, the amazing buildings that line the streets around it, I wish Chicago had something like that.
