Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

Yes, this really is New York City. A few years ago I saw an amazing panorama of lower (southern) Manhattan from a JetBlue flight, and kicked myself for not photographing it. I've been trying to get another chance ever since, and once again this year I failed. I did get a little bit of the lesser-known parts of New York, though. This is upper (northern) Manhattan, and you can see the north end of Central Park down there, featuring the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, not used since a year before it was named as such. It was built in 1862, meaning it was in service 1862-1993, receiving water from the famous Croton aqueduct, as it was never big enough to be a collecting reservoir.
