In my last post I wrote about a fountain that transformed into an ice rink during the winter months and was reminded of the iconic fountain found along side the ice rink at the Rockefeller Center.
I saw this beautiful multitiered, step-design fountain a couple years ago around the Christmas holidays. In my opinion this is one of the best times to see New York. The city is decked out in beautiful lights and the holiday cheer is felt everywhere you go.
The Rockefeller Ice Rink is filled with happy families and couples while the gold statue of the Rockefeller fountain watches over. This noble statue is so iconic that it almost doesn’t seem real. Like a scene out of a movie jets of water rise up to meet the statue to create the illusion that it is floating much like the ice skaters below.
If you are ever in New York City, do yourself a favor and go to the Rockefeller Center so that you can experience this true New York landmark.
