Easter weekend in New York. Was magical. Everybody was out in Central Park, walking jogging biking, with kids with dogs. Cherry blossoms were falling on our heads. It was an absolutely lovely day.

A beautiful open field, with a pattern or softball diamonds populating the grounds. You can get a decent view of the midtown skyscrapers from the northside of the park.
