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!
Great shot of the pond!
ReplyDeleteLola:)
Mary, I love that photo of the pond and the red ladder must really stand out. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteDon'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.
ReplyDeleteLOL! People...you know they are dears, really...
wow!!I miss London and New york.
ReplyDeletePresently it will be snowing there.
Really nice! Happy Ruby Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteRed is the right colour to attract attention!
ReplyDeleteReally? The ladder is used when the pond is frozen? Surely you must be saying that with tongue in cheek! :-)
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not, come to think of it. I guess the ladder would be useful if someone fell through the ice...
ReplyDeleteGood to know! Great photo, Mary. I've enjoyed all your shots of Golden Pond.
ReplyDeleteCold, crisp and beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhat a peaceful and beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteThose folks living on the hillside must have a wonderful view.
ReplyDeleteA lovely winter landscape Mary!
That's a very original photo !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture of the pond. Happy RT!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this photo, Mary..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing and hosting.:)
The red ladder shows up well, easy to see in an emergency.
ReplyDeleteA great idea to keep the ladder in ready in such a convenient place!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a frozen pond before! a good colour for the ladder, you can see it easily in the white surrounds :)
ReplyDeletemy first ever Ruby Tuesday
Very pretty shot. I love white snow and something red!
ReplyDeletereally pretty scene Mary :)
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pond -- scary thought falling into the ice. The ladder really does show up, which I can see would be very important.
ReplyDeletei wouldn't have known that that was a ladder and it was for rescue purposes. pretty photo! happy RT!
ReplyDeleteCool shot but eerie thought. I'm cold just thinking about it! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great winter photo! I'm going to share some snow photos tomorrow too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised its not buried in snow
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to keep that there. Must be that has happened before and they want to be avoid trouble if it happens again. smart.
ReplyDeleteYou found a beautiful day for photography, and a perfect subject for Ruby Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteCould this pond be the inspiration for the old movie?
Wow, great shot! Really really cold...
ReplyDeleteNeat shot, Mary. Don't go trekking on the ice to find out if it works!
ReplyDeleteThe red ladder is so useful..
ReplyDeletethe ruby ladder is a nice backdrop to the snow and the silhoueted blue pond.
ReplyDeletegreat idea to keep the ladder there for emergency use.
