Strawberry Fields, Central Park, New York
Jan 18th, 2007 | By admin | Category: Travel JournalLast autumn I spent an afternoon wandering around Central Park in New York taking photos. I love Central Park for it’s enormity and beauty right in the beating heart of New York. It’s full of the energy of all the people that go there and there always seems to be something new to discover.
I was heading back to 5th Avenue as twilight approached when I came across Strawberry Fields. It’s a memorial to John Lennon who was shot outside his apartment near here. There were people sitting on benches around a mosaic in the ground that spelt out the word IMAGINE. Flowers and small pumpkins had been placed down.
I found it touching that the imagination and words of one man still affected so many people. I took some photos of the memorial and the people that were there.
