Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park, created the miniature Victorian folly castle in 1869 as one of Central Park's many whimsical structures intended as a lookout to the reservoir to the north (now the Great Lawn) and the Ramble to the south. After decades of deterioration, the Central Park Conservancy renovated and reopened the castle in 1983. Belvedere Castle provides the best and highest views of the Park and its cityscape.
New Yorkers and regular visitors know the phrase - 'Right now, the temperature in Central Park is ' both from television and radio broadcasts. But not many know that temperature is recorded from from the top of the Belvedere Castle. Since 1919, the National Weather Service has take measurements from the castle's tower with the aid of scientific instruments that measure wind speed and direction. In a fenced-in compound just south of the castle, other data such as the rainfall is recorded and sent to the weather service's forecast office at Brookhaven National Library on Long Island

Great scene, nicely composed and processed. Weather wasn't helping and I'm not crazy about your frame.
