New York is one of the most ever-changing and photogenic places in
the world. Featuring full-color photographs of well-known landmarks
from all five boroughs-from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to South
Street Seaport, as well as secret treasures throughout the
city-this visual celebration of New York in all of its seasonal
splendor is a perfect take-home souvenir for a tourist or a
treasured gift for a resident New Yorker. The year begins and ends
in winter-ice skaters enjoy Central Park's Wollman Rink, the
Christmas tree arrives at Rockefeller Center, pedestrians walk
across a snow-covered Brooklyn Bridge. Springtime brings cherry
blossoms in Washington Square and a field of tulips in Central
Park. In the summer, the paths through Central Park are a popular
stroll, and farmers' markets and other outdoor events, such as the
Independence Day fireworks over the Statue of Liberty, draw people
outside during the warmer months. Autumn brings leaves in vibrant
shades of red and orange and makes a carriage ride through Central
Park especially beautiful.
