Okay you've got Central Park 843 acres of one of the most beautifully landscaped parks in the world, an urban oasis that includes Bow Bridge, Bethesda Fountain, Belvedere Castle, Conservatory Garden, The Lake and Gapstow Bridge. Out of all of these, and countless other iconic images of the park, you chose the Sheep Meadow a vast lawn full of greased up New Yorkers desperate for their share of carcinoma causing sunshine; a space that was arguably put to better use as a buffet for the inbred mutant sheep that once inhabited the Sheepfold the current Tavern on the Green.
You really believe that the Sheep Meadow is the most beautiful spot in Central Park? Or did you just suck back a Mohito at the aforementioned former livestock hostelry snap a picture at the nearest open space and call it a day?
