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.

Hello Mr. Dosremedios, I think this is an exceptional photo. It looks like the arch is its own planet. The detail is very nice.
I'm new to Blogger and was looking for a button to simply send you a message, but I don't see one so I'm leaving a comment on your picture.
I was a patient of your father's a long time ago, and when I'd grown up, I did some medical editing work for him. I happened to see his photography and yours when I did a Google search on your last name. Best wishes to you. (John Reichel john.reichel@cdph.ca.gov)
