Central Park as Manhattan's seasonal heartbeat

Central Park is an 843-acre rectangle cut into Midtown Manhattan, so from space it reads like a giant green lung inside an almost perfectly rigid street grid. The reservoir near the middle and the long meadow bands make it easy to orient yourself even without a map.

These four dates show the park's seasonal swing clearly: leaf-off winter browns, bright spring greens, dense summer canopy, and the patchier gold-and-rust textures of autumn.
