The shadows within this underpass provide a medium of abstraction, allowing me to lead the eye directly to a silhouetted woman who is walking her dog. She has just about emerged from the other end of the underpass. I catch her as she seems to look towards a small figure in black striding among the distant trees. There is an energy flowing between the figures, large and small. The image reflects a personal moment in time, a private place in the midst of a great city. It is also an incongruous study in space, limited to a chance pairing of just two of the park’s thirty-five million visitors each year. Yet it gives us an understanding of why this place is the most visited urban park in the United States.
