The Beginning
Six fountains, enclosed by iron pergolas, mark the border between the Katherine Hepburn Garden (dedicated on her 90th birthday) and the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, which stretches all the way between 1st and 2nd Avenues (in context).
Without Friends, Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, despite its magnificent new design, would quickly fall victim to neglect. The elegant promenade would become a garbage dump; the stately fountains would turn to cesspools ... I wish I were exaggerating; I am not. For example ... we spend $7000 on fountain maintenance alone, having the six fountains cleaned weekly for the six months of operation each year. (from Turtle Bay Association site)

Site Tips: If you have Explorer or AOL (recent version), and a mouse with a scroll wheel, you should be able to move the mouse anywhere over the text at right and scroll it with the wheel, so you can still see the picture while reading.
Most of the pages have a large version of the main picture which you can make your wallpaper by first clicking on it to download, then right-clicking and choosing "Set as Background".
