This is Golden Pond in Bayside Queens. That RED ladder hanging from the back of the seats is used to save anyone who might fall into the pond when it's frozen.
What do you have for Ruby Tuesday?
**This is Driller AA's Ruby Tuesday badge. I love it. I'm going to use it next week and thereafter. I think he won't mind if we all use it!

Mary, I love that photo of the pond and the red ladder must really stand out. Thanks for sharing this one.
Don't you love how people have to prepare for other people being drawn toward disaster? When I was in Toronto recently and going past High Park on the streetcar, I kept looking at the orange lifering and the big hook ready for anyone who might get into trouble on the pond.
LOL! People...you know they are dears, really...
wow!!I miss London and New york.
Presently it will be snowing there.
Really nice! Happy Ruby Tuesday!
Red is the right colour to attract attention!
Really? The ladder is used when the pond is frozen? Surely you must be saying that with tongue in cheek! :-)
Or maybe not, come to think of it. I guess the ladder would be useful if someone fell through the ice...
Good to know! Great photo, Mary. I've enjoyed all your shots of Golden Pond.
Cold, crisp and beautiful.
what a peaceful and beautiful setting.
Those folks living on the hillside must have a wonderful view.
A lovely winter landscape Mary!
That's a very original photo !
Beautiful capture of the pond. Happy RT!
Great shot!
I LOVE this photo, Mary..
Thanks so much for sharing and hosting.:)
The red ladder shows up well, easy to see in an emergency.
A great idea to keep the ladder in ready in such a convenient place!
I have never seen a frozen pond before! a good colour for the ladder, you can see it easily in the white surrounds :)
my first ever Ruby Tuesday
Very pretty shot. I love white snow and something red!
really pretty scene Mary :)
What a lovely touch of red in that picture... it always brightens the day. We really need the brightening today here... I think rain will start any minute.
Beautiful pond -- scary thought falling into the ice. The ladder really does show up, which I can see would be very important.
i wouldn't have known that that was a ladder and it was for rescue purposes. pretty photo! happy RT!
Cool shot but eerie thought. I'm cold just thinking about it! :0)
What a great winter photo! I'm going to share some snow photos tomorrow too. :)
I'm surprised its not buried in snow
Great idea to keep that there. Must be that has happened before and they want to be avoid trouble if it happens again. smart.
You found a beautiful day for photography, and a perfect subject for Ruby Tuesday!
Could this pond be the inspiration for the old movie?
Wow, great shot! Really really cold...
Neat shot, Mary. Don't go trekking on the ice to find out if it works!
The red ladder is so useful..
the ruby ladder is a nice backdrop to the snow and the silhoueted blue pond.
great idea to keep the ladder there for emergency use.

The red ladder can help people in need and helped you to find a true RT :)

I wonder how many times the red ladder had to be used; makes you think!
Lovely picture of the pond!
Happy Ruby Tuesday!

My biggest fear ever, and recurring nightmare is falling through thin ice!!! Freaky!
I love the effect you gave this image.
Happy Ruby Tuesday,

Now why would someone fall into the pond? I love the wintry look. Happy RT
I'm the 100th...:) Happy Tuesday!
we are really hot here, and I missed the Canadian winter like your photo.
This is my first Ruby Tuesday Post. I hope there will be many more! Lovely picture of the pond!
Hopefully, they don't experience too many Red Ladder Days. La
Beautiful winter landscape :-)
wow! I did not know it is a pond until you mentioned it...thanks for sharing Mary!
Great winter shot with the red ladder. Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Yikes-- that would be horrible to fall through the ice-- good thing there is a red ladder handy!
By all means, feel free to use my badge. All of my badges are free for the taking. I enjoy creating them and I really enjoy seeing others use them. The Wordless Wednesday badge is available as well
