Autumn is one of the most beautiful times to visit the Hudson Valley. “Fall” as its known here, is easily the most popular season of the year in New York, where winters are bitter and summers are sticky.

New York City, USA

Central Park Mall in Green & Gold

These photos were taken on my last day in New York City. I was determined to see the Central Park Mall, the beautiful tree-lined walkway through the Central Park which features in so many films and television shows. I was disappointed to miss the golden autumn foliage by mere days (four, to be exact!), but I found a different kind of beauty in the glowing, … Continue reading Central Park Mall in Green & Gold
