While visiting Brooklyn I took time out to shoot this fabulous monument at the top of Prospect Park. It's a miniature version of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the man who invented landscape architecture, it originally had no statuary on it when it was dedicated in 1892. During the period 1898-1901 the Quadriga, The Spirit of the Army, and The Spirit of the Navy bronzes were added.
This is a hyperbolic projection of a spherical panorama.
