An adventurous but careless photographer plunged 15 to 20 feet from Belvedere Castle when he was trying to take pictures in Central Park today, authorities said.

The man was trying to climb up the rocks of the castle walls to get a better shot and tumbled to the ground around 5:10 p.m., breaking his legs, according to an FDNY spokesman.

EMS rushed the parkgoer to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment. His injuries were not life-threatening.
