Photo of the Day: Season’s Turning, Riverside Park, NYC

This afternoon, on my day off, I strolled around and took pictures in Riverside Park in Manhattan. Thiry-eight years ago, in my freshman year at Columbia University, taking a jogging class that called for circuits loops up and down from Riverside Drive toward the Hudson River, I had grown somewhat familiar with the area of the park around 116^th Street—but today I went somewhat south of that, from 79^th to 99^th Streets.

Autumn is not at its height yet, but I was able to find a few spots where the colors of fall are beginning to appear, like here.
