Strawberry Fields

This is a memorial in Central Park over the road from the Dakota where John Lennon lived and later got shot. Lennon and Yoko Ono adopted this area as there favourite place of the park, and later Ono donated $1,000,000 to the Central Park Conservancy and re landscaping of the area.

Strawberry Fields is a memorial for John Lennon, there is a small walk and on the floor is a mosaic surrounded by benches with 'Imagine' in the middle, the most famous song by John Lennon. Everyday on top of the mosaic area people would do different things to commemorate him, most of the time it was in the form of flower displays as below, but others left single flowers, poems, candles and anything they feel appropriate for instance in the picture below you will see a collage and guitar.


The first time i visited Strawberry Fields it was a different flower display encompassing the Imagine mosaic but the Peace sign is relevant in many ways; the era, the situation and to rest in peace.
