The Obelisk in Central Park is better known as "Cleopatra's Needle". Cleopatra had nothing to do with it. (It dates back to the reigns of Tutmosis III and Rameses II.) Nevertheless I have included Cleopatra in the graphics just for fun.
Like "The Lake", this started life as a piano piece (in which form it may be heard on my website.)
All images of the Obelisk are my own and the others are from Wikimedia Commons and are p.d.
Well, perhaps the asp was more appropriate than previously thought.
