Flushing Meadows Park statue

Another statue/art piece - apparently dedicated to the sporting history of the park.

While I get the park's sporting connection - the aprk is a popular place for all sorts of people playing sports and the US Open is held there - I don't quite see the link between this statue and sports.

Flushing Meadows Park Panorama

Taken from the lake near one end of the park, a full 360 panorama of the view. Mostly shows the lake and the long avenue back toward the Unisphere.

A closer shot of the Observatory Towers.

Unisphere

Another shot of the Unisphere in all it's fountainy glory. A bit better than some of the others, in that it includes people so you can see how big the fricking thing actually is. :)

Home Sweet Home... sort of.

This was the best shot I could get of Ireland as depicted on the Unisphere.

Flushing Meadows Park statue

One of the many statues around the park.

Behind the statue, is apparently where the Tennis US Open was being held at the time. I had wondered why there was so many security guards in the park.

The Unisphere

The Unispehere, from the 1964 World's Fair, surrounded by fountains. It was sucha hot day, the light rain of water from the fountains was very refreshing and there were several kids playing in the fountains.

Observatory Towers

The observatory towers from the World's Fair held in the park decades ago.

Or, if Hollywood is to be believed, alien spacecraft hidden in plain view.
