There's a rose garden in Central Park.
No, not that Central Park.
The other one, in Schenectady, the 'Place Beyond the Pines.'
In the midst of a city trying to rebirth itself, revive itself from its industrial past, there is a patch of beauty most of the residents don't know exists.
It is a magnet for young lovers, for school trips and, especially, for photographers.
Richard H. Nilsen, armed with three cameras, entered the gates and found the beauty.
This is a collection of his best photos from that single trip, July 6, 2017.
