One of my favorite places in Central park is the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. Built during the Civil War, the terrace was designed on two levels to offer views of The Lake. It serves as the northern end of the Mall.
In 1873 the fountain, also known as The Angel of the Waters, was installed. It was designed by Emma Stebins, and its name refers to the biblical story of the healing of the paralytic at Bethesda. The terrace and the fountain were renamed Bethesda in its honor.
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
