New York City - "The Gates" - 2005

The Gates will be unfurled in Central Park, New York City on February 12, 2005, weather permitting, and will remain through February 27, 2005.
I took these pictures on February 15, 2005 - I remember taking the day from work so I could go into the city to see this. I'm so glad I did.

This project was designed by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Walking thru Central Park on a beautiful sunny day taking in all the excitement and curiosity of "The Gates"; These saffron colored fabric panels meandering throughout the park. Many, many people were enjoying this day as well.
It really was a great experience.

I went back into my album after watching the documentary on "The Gates"...I took away the framing on many of the pictures that originally I put on.

    Good idea Susi. I'd even be willing to chip in. Maybe if someone does something nice for Jacques he'll lose some of the hostility that he puts forth in his comments

    Hey Kev: Most likely someone as negative as he will never change his way of thinking no matter how kind another would be towards him. Oh well....

    UUUUGGGGGHHHH! What a load of garbage! Maybe I can steal one of those cheap curtains for my shower........

    Sorry Jacques - if you want something in life - stealing isn't the way to get it - maybe we can get you a shower curtain if you need one so badly.
