Description
The year begins and ends in winter-ice skaters enjoy Central Park's Wollman Rink, the Christmas tree arrives at Rockefeller Center, pedestrians walk across a snow-covered Brooklyn Bridge. Springtime brings cherry blossoms in Washington Square and a field of tulips in Central Park. In the summer, the paths through Central Park are a popular stroll, and farmers' markets and other outdoor events, such as the Independence Day fireworks over the Statue of Liberty, draw people outside during the warmer months. Autumn brings leaves in vibrant shades of red and orange and makes a carriage ride through Central Park especially beautiful.

Reviews
"What better time than spring for The Seasons of New York, Charles J. Ziga's ambrosial visual ode to the city? In vivid color, Mr. Ziga, a graphic designer who is the author of two other books of photographs, captures familiar and more inconspicuous vistas of New York's seasonal rituals. 'The best of New York is free and will leave you with lasting memories,' Mr. Ziga writes, in a timely appreciation for seasoned New Yorkers and newcomers alike." ~The New York Times
"Not merely a collection of postcard snapshots, The Seasons of New York offers an insider's glimpse of our fabulous metropolis." ~This Week in New York
