The donkeys, led by their handlers, seem calm and patient, navigating the bustling scene with ease. The tranquil Whitestone Pond, surrounded by lush greenery, serves as a serene backdrop to the scene. People can be seen strolling along the banks of the pond, enjoying the picturesque surroundings and the warm sunshine. The gentle sounds of laughter and conversation mingle with the distant honking of cars parked around the outside of the frame, reminding us of the coexistence of nature and urban life during this time.
