gates photos

Here's what I wrote back when I took these photos of the Gates:

I'm glad people are alive to take the time and thought to care about such things.

I visited the park on three separate occasions, each time a different experience. Just when I felt like everything looked the same (we got some trees, pathway, and these big orange things...check), I'd discover a new nook or cranny of that revealed a new perspective on big orange gates draped over a park.

Saturday late afternoon/sundown. The throngs. More people than gates, but a definitive part of the public art experience.

Saturday night. Serene and isolated. Felt like Gates were lurking everywhere, just out of sight.

Monday late morning. Park blanketed in several inches of snow.

Soon they'll be gone and locals can have their neighborhoods back to themselves, but I'm very glad to have seen it while it was here.
