An Ethereal Day in Strawberry Fields

I always wanted to go to Central Park and display a Green Man Mosaic.  I found a parking spot on the West Side and by chance walked in to Strawberry Fields:




"Strawberry Fields is a 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) landscaped section in New York City's Central Park that is dedicated to the memory of former Beatle John Lennon. It is named after the Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever" written by Lennon. The Central Park memorial was designed by Bruce Kelly, the chief landscape architect for the Central Park Conservancy. Strawberry Fields was dedicated on what would have been Lennon's 45th birthday, October 9, 1985, by New York Mayor Ed Koch and Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, who had underwritten the project. The entrance to the memorial is located on Central Park West at West 72nd Street, directly across from the Dakota Apartments, where Lennon had lived for the later part of his life, and where he was murdered in 1980." Wikipedia ( I love Wikipedia)

 November 28th, 2015 in Manhattan was phenomenal.  It was as if the day was created for displaying these two works of art in Central Park.  What is going on with the leaves still changing this late in the year?     The irony of stumbling upon Strawberry fields along with the natural wonder and colors was serendipitous.  It was perfect.
