Lincoln Center and Central Park

We started today with an escorted tour of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The tour is all over in 45 minutes which isn't really enough to do justice to the sprawling complex and unfortunately I can't show much of the tour - nothing really - because photography isn't permitted inside the theatres and performance spaces. This despite most of those theatres being inactive during our visit. It is a contrast to the attitude at both the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art where photography was generally permitted.

I can show you the main Plaza, which is probably the least interesting aspect of the complex

and what, from this perspective, appears to be the forecourt to the Julliard School, although the School is actually across the street.

What we did see on the tour was, however, quite interesting.

We had lunch at the complex following the tour and then over the course of several hours walked home mostly through Central Park.

There is such variety in what one sees in the Park.
