Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "The Gates" surrounding the skating rink |
 |
Picture time! For sixteen days this installation was the most photographed site in New York |
 |
Even the dogs got dressed up in saffron |
 |
Statue of Shakespeare. Notice the lady on the right reciting a soliloquy |
 |
The crowds were huge on Sunday, everyone wanted to parade under "The Gates" |
 |
But there were also relatively empty stretches of the park |
 |
These gates pass by the Delacorte Theater |
 |
My favorite picture of "The Gates:" In the snow, as Christo and Jeanne-Claude imagined them |
 |
Winter time in Central Park |
 |
The Central Park Carousel is always a popular spot |
 |
And when the winds blew, "The Gates" came to life |
 |
People of all ages came to visit this installation |
 |
"The Gates" snake through the park on a wintry, foggy New York afternoon |
 |
Near the corner of Central Park West and 72nd Street, with The Dakota in the background |
 |
Just to prove I was there |
 |
The serenity of "The Gates" makes my friend Grant want to practice his karate |
