The Ramble, Central Park, Uptown Manhattan. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, co-designers. 1857–73. Central Park, the only municipal park that is a national historic landmark, is the result of more than eighty years of planning and effort. Within 843 man-made acres, the 37-acre Ramble, a steep, well-wooded, rugged hillside, intersected by winding paths, succeeds, more than any other area in the park, in realising the intention of Olmsted, a pioneer in the new profession of “landscape architecture,” to take city dwellers out of their urban environment.

A couple beside the lake, the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 1000 Washington Avenue, opposite the eastern edge of Prospect Park, Middle Brooklyn. Takeo Shiota, designer. 1914. Probably the most celebrated feature of Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, emblematic of the Japanese talent for condensation. Created in one acre around the lake, it embodies aspects of four kinds of gardens – palace, tea cult, Shinto, and Buddhist temple. In the lake, shaped like the Chinese letter meaning “heart” (the centre of meditative calm) is a torii , or bird-perching gate, which marks the approach to a Shinto shrine on the rise beyond the Niwa , or landscape garden.

Attilio Piccirilli, sculptor. H. Van Buren Magonigle, architect. 1913. On the night of 15 February 1898 the Maine , a battleship constructed in Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1890, blew-up and sank in Havana Harbour with the loss of 260 American lives, impressing on a horrified nation the catchphrase “Remember the Maine !” Spain, whose colonial empire included Cuba, was held responsible, and the event sparked the Spanish-American War. Among other symbolic figures, on the east side of the monument a Michelangelesque reclining youth represents the Atlantic.
