Mono in the Mall

This is a post for Monochrome Monday Hosted by @old-guy-photos, and I will share some shots from in Central Park most taken at the End of a strip called the Mall near Bethesda Terrace,

Starting with this shot of a row of benches, I am sure during the heat of the day in summer these benches get good use, but in the early morning when I visited there I do not think I saw anyone sitting on any of the benches in the park.

And another shot of the same benches from a different angle showing that these benches are not jus one row but they extend right around an area of trees providing some nice shade

And to not be obsessed with benches ( although I maybe I do take a lot of photos of benches around the city even though I seldom ever stop and sit on them) let me share the details at the end of one of the walls leading down to Bethesda Terrace

And showing the detail of that cornerstone, I often hear birds in Central Park, sometimes see them but seldom get photos of them, so here is a shot of an Owl in Central Park

And to finish off here is another of the features on another cornerstone, I am not sure what type of bird this is meant to be

Nice! I take a lot of pictures of empty benches, too. I like the feeling of solitude and peace they give.

I like how you've done these in monochrome, particularly that very first image. It really enhances the contour and shapes.

Nice entry. I like repetition at the first shot, but I'd prefer sepia (or cream?) tone.

Have a nice start of the week!

It almost looks like a bat to me. That is interesting that they chose to put two nocturnal species on the carving like that. Nice shots. I don't recall if I ever made it to this part of the park.

Maybe it is a Bat you could be right, did you ever go to Bethesda Terrace, I think you would remember that it stars that go down to a sort of tunnel heading out to a fountain, and they have beautiful colorful tiles or mosaics underneath
I do have photos of it but done have access tot hem here at work
