This view is looking south over the Pond towards the corner of Central Park South and Fifth Avenue. Ice remains, but the temperature today was 54.

Today, Sunday, we had bright sunshine in Central Park which gave the Gates a different look. There were more shadows and you can see the shadows of the trees on the fabric.

2005-02-13T16:31:00.001-05:00

We spent the morning in the Northern part of the Park. Here is a mini-panaroma taken on the Great Hill.

The saffron fabric is rip-stop nylon. It makes a swishy sound when the wind blows the fabric around.

2005-02-13T16:28:00.000-05:00

The curtains were made in Germany. The fabric along with the steel and all of the other materials used for the project will be recycled after the art is taken down.

2005-02-13T16:25:00.000-05:00

We had a good breeze today to blow the fabric around.

2005-02-13T16:24:00.000-05:00

Volunteers were all throughout the park and they were quite knowledgeable as they had all worked on the project for awhile. They were handing out fabric samples so you could feel it without jumping up.

2005-02-13T16:22:00.000-05:00

The crowds were a little lighter up by the North Meadow, but it still seemed like a lot of people in the Park.

2005-02-13T16:21:00.000-05:00

The shadows of the tree branches were especially lovely today in the sun.

2005-02-13T16:19:00.000-05:00

We talked to several volunteers today from places like Queens, South Orange, NJ, Portland, OR and even Switzerland. This guy is from the East Village and he uses that pole with the tennis ball on it to untangled the fabric when the wind blows it over the top. These are the same poles they used yesterday to unzip and release the curtains, using the hook underneath the ball.

The sun makes a brief appearance.

2005-02-12T15:22:00.000-05:00

A lot of people are out today. Most of them have cameras.

2005-02-12T15:21:00.000-05:00

Here is another gate unrolling after being unzipped.

2005-02-12T15:20:00.000-05:00

The gate is unrolling after being freed from its container. A zipper was just opened by someone with a long pole with a hook on the end.
