theme day



Today's theme is Paths and Passages, and I
think this photo fits even if it is 4 years old.
Some people hated Christo and Jeanne-Claude's
Gates (of which there were a grand total of 7,503
throughout Central Park), and some people loved
them.  I was most definitely in the latter camp.
What did you think?

    I remember reading about these, and I love them! I missed seeing his "Running Fence" in Sonoma county back in the day. I was in Sacramento.

    So.... any plans to join up with CDP?

    On second viewing I realized how closely they resemble Japanese Inari Shrines.

    TG -- I read that they were inspired by Japanese Inari Shrines (although if you ask me, "inspired" might be
    putting it a bit too mildly).

    elaine -- I've been thinking about it, actually.
