Original Mermaids from Central Park Fountain
I wanted to show you the original mermaids and link to the current mermaids at the main fountain in Central Park, but guess what I haven’t done a close-up shot of the mermaids (one more thing to add to my todo list); so, I have to link to the photo Even the Fountains Take a Break, since this is the only shot which shows the mermaids.
Anyhow, the mermaids above can be found at the Museo de Armas or Old Weapons Museum; yes I know, mermaids have nothing to do with weapons, unless you consider the sirens singing dangerous. I believe this is also called the Saint James Museum, Santiago in Spanish.

I just commented about mermaids on a blog. Nice photo. It really captures the mermaids and shows a lot of detail.
I got to fly last night. I mean I just dove in and flew. You can find out how on my blog post today.

Rudy - how fun to see the original mermaids! I was at the fountain in January on my trip. I have a few photos of the mermaids - one very close up - that I can send to you until you have one of your own. I loved the plaza around the fountain.

Here is the link to the closeup one. I’m in the process of editing and reorganizing my flickr pics, so this is the only edited one I have. If you would like to see more, let me know!
