I put an on-line "photo album" up about "The Gates" installation in Central Park.  Check it out.

You still have today, Saturday, and Sunday to experience them in person:

• preposterous, insane, magical, joyous—brings out the child in every visitor (even the cops)
• human-scale and monumental-scale at the same time
• would not work with fewer Gates, would not work in a different color—whatever else one thinks about Christo & Jeanne Claude, they got this precisely right
• evanescent:  Hard to believe they actually appeared, and harder to believe they'll be gone shortly.
