A Garden Voyage

There's a rose garden in Central Park. No, not that Central Park. The other one, in Schenectady, the 'Place Beyond the Pines.' In the midst of a city trying to rebirth itself, revive itself from its industrial past, there is a patch of beauty most of the residents don't know exists. It is a magnet for young lovers, for school trips and, especially, for photographers. Richard H. Nilsen, armed with three cameras, entered the gates and found the beauty. This is a collection of his best photos from that single trip, July 6, 2017.
