Is a cool little castle with such a cool character and feel to it and its also a nice stop in the park with nice views in a few directions

It was originally designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould to b a folly Structure to provide a nice backdrop and cool views

In 1919 that all changed when the weather service began taking measurements from the Castle's Tower, by 1983 the castle was quite run down and was refurbished and renovated and it now serves as the Henre Luce Nature Observatory.

Awesome shots. I wish we lived in castles today, and not in these flaky wooden houses that vibrate every time the wind starts blowing.

For sure times ahave changed and quality gone down hill

I miss New York! Lived there from 88 to 99

I do remember that castle and your pictures got it back from my memories I nearly forgot

How'd you get @good-karma and @bitcoiner to vote on your comments? And why not the trail on the initial comment?

You have to ask them. I don’t know but maybe because I wrote my comment on their @esteemapp Try it yourself

I used it some when it first started, like the notifications, I have to try it out :)

I use it mostly because I have issues with my spine and can’t sit much on my laptop to reply to comments or to create articles. I also find this app helpful to get notifications. Good luck with it.

They randomly do when you comment on eSteem. Not every comment get it.

It’s a interesting place for sure have been working here for over 15 years now

You learn how to hate and love and hate and love it all over again 🤣😳 “ Interesting” is for sure too harmless for that charismatic town of madness fell in love with .....forever. I lived on 448 W37th and had my best years I could say.

I never lived in Manhattan I’m still a Kiwi country boy at heart lived in Queens then Jersey City and now in CT
Mind you for the time in queens I was out traveling to missions in average 3 to 6 months a year

That area where you lived has changed a lot over recent years lots of new developments

Hell’s Kitchen was epic at those days and quite scary to go home at night with too many crackheads. The building was an old factory and now you can’t even afford to live there anymore

Indeed it’s become very unusual scale was there just a couple of weeks ago and surprised how it’s still changing

Wow, I've never seen this when I visited NYC. Very interesting!

Its in the middle of the park near 80th Street a spot often missed when walking through parts of the park :)

Looks really cool, as if the knights would appear at the next moment.

This is a really cool castle! Nice shots!

It was so cool seeing your picture of Gulf Beach all the way in Lisbon at the art gallery, at the end of the night they were letting people take home pictures if they wanted. I took yours back with me and if you want it I’d be more than happy to give it to you! I’ll be making a post about the gallery in the next few days so stay tuned!

Cheers my friend, Hope all is well!

Wow that is so cool I didn’t know one of mine was in the gallery I am quite chuffed to hear that 😎
