A 20-Acre Lake in the most visited Park in the USA – 42 million visitors in 2016! Where is it?

According to Wikipedia 42 million people visited the Park in 2016 and it is one of the most photographed places in the world. This picture was taken while boating on the lake. Look at the tranquil reflections of the sky scrapers in the calm water. The tall buildings are stretching up to touch magnificent clouds.

Where is the Park? The answer is below the picture. Please scroll down.

Thank you to my grandson MB for the beautiful picture.

Answer: New York Central Park

New York Dawn

Earth has not anything to show so fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
New York now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Concrete canyons, theatres, walkways, the avenues lie
Waiting for their throngs, as orange dawn lights the sky;
Never did sun so beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
New York will awake at its own sweet will.
Dear God! the very buildings seem asleep;
And all New York's mighty heart is lying still!
