the "gates" by cristo and jean-claude in nyc

this weekend, i flew to nyc to visit my mother and to see my daughter off on mid-term break from her college in indiana, earlham... i got lucky... staying off central park west...

saw the opening day of "the gates" an environmental art project of cristo and jean-claude; 16 ft tall gates with saffron colored nylon, pleated banners unfurled saturday morning; all 7,500 gates placed along pathways throughout central park, adding walkways of blossoming color behind and before bare black tree limbs...

quite a sight; very entertaining...

and yes, i will have photographs...
