Steve > Statue of ??? Moore. Can't remember his first name. I was working on the photos, so I get an F on the history test.

Steve > More Moore.

Steve > This guy needs a girlfriend to sit out there with him. Don't people know that that sappy couples make better photos?

Steve > Ancient stone archway. According to Kevin, every archway in central park is different. No two archways are the same....

Steve > L-R: Sherry Netherland hotel (now condos) GM Building, Bergdorf Goodman, and the side of Plaza Hotel (being converted to condos)

Steve > Central Park's lamposts are tagged with a code to tell you where in the park you are. This was near 61st St. This may help you if you are lost in the park.

Steve > Also near 61st, the C is for center

Steve > This is an ancient traffic control box.

Steve > Ironwork on the Pine Bank bridge

Steve > Mazzini was an Italian nationalist, but he looks too much like Lenin, and it was freakin' me out.

Steve > The ice cream Thinker.

Steve > Statue of Daniel Webster. I do not believe he's the one who invented the dictionary. And he's not the little kid from 80's TV either. Like I said... F on the history part.

Steve > Tired of waiting....

Steve > Jerry Seinfeld lives here.

Steve > Rock formation that dates back to the ice age.

Steve > Sone pillar of Terrace Bridge

Steve > Carving on the terrace bridge. Reminded me of that blue owl that lives in the neighborhood of makebelieve.

Steve > Note the little pumpkin that's hiding behind the Witch's ass.

Steve > Fairy tale carving on the left, Little Jerry Seinfeld on the right.

Steve > Imagine all the tourists.

Steve > This doesn't look too comfy.

Steve > The 'Ladies' Pavillion" was originally a trolley kiosk, but is now a place where hookers can be found at night, hence the name. And no, I don't know from experience. .. just a rumor I heard someplace.

Steve > Flower garden

Steve > Belvedere Castle. There is a weather station here which often gives misleading readings. On this day, it said partly cloudy, when it was in fact partly sunny.

Steve > Old King Jagiello does not look like a merry old soul. He looks like he wants to cut your head off.

Steve > Good King Jag is depicted in battle, sporting THREE swords (there's one on his belt - how did he hold that third one??), a jeweled crown (to blind the enemy with its glare) and 'handle-bar' hairdew. The hair doubled as spear-like weapon capable of impaling two enemies at once.

Steve > Love by the lake. Awwwww.....
