Yesterday I took a walk along the jogging track that encircles Manhattan’s Central Park Reservoir (more properly, I guess, the “Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir”).

On the reservoir side of the jogging track, beyond the black cast-iron ornamental fence, is a steep embankment leading down into the water. In this micro-enviroment, just a few feet wide but 1.6 miles long, fall is in full swing…
More photos are here.

Love your autumn images. As for the Reservoir, I’ll never start calling the Jackie O Reservoir. It’s just “the Reservoir.”

And autumn is still going on; despite the October snowstorm it’s just reaching its peak, in fact…

Wow, Vladimir, these photos are gorgeous. I shall make a point of walking the reservoir this weekend. That chubby little bird peeking through the yellow leaves is cuteness personified. :)

Thanks for the inspiration, Vladimir, the light was completely different when I was there today, your colours are so vivid, mine seem much more muted. It was a lovely walk. xx

I was there in the late afternoon, when the sun was still lighting up some parts of the scene but others were already in the shadow, and I photographed against the light. But I really like your muted colors—not so vivid but very rich!

They named a ‘reservoir’ after Jackie?!?! Beautiful photos.

Yes, they did… apparently because she liked to jog around it :-)
