The Gates IV - North and East Meadows in Snow
02/21/05
in New York City - Manhattan
One of my hopes for The Gates was that it would snow at some point during the 16 day installation. Last night my wish was granted. This is the first of two sets of photographs I took around noon today.
After spending quite a bit of time with The Gates I've experienced them mostly visually but one thing that I noticed a couple of days ago is the audible aspect. When the wind is blowing they make a peaceful flapping noise which is very pleasant. Several times I've stopped along a deserted part of the path and listened. It's hard to explain without seeing and hearing it in person so today I used my camera to make a short 4.5 MB video which you can download in an attempt to convey what I mean.
