Last Gates Weekend
Here are photos from the last weekend of The Gates installation in Central Park. Removal of The Gates begins tomorrow, Monday, February 28.
I decided to spend most of the day at the northern end of the park, around the Harlem Meer, perhaps the most beautiful water feature in the park.
We found this Gates worker holding court on the way to the Museum of Modern Art. There were an army of Gates employees tending to the installation all day long. Most were hanging amongst themselves in groups, some were fielding questions from visitors like this guy, and still others were giving away small samples of the actual saffron colored fabric used on The Gates.
Finally, we saw these two making snow angels near the West 100th Street entrance. The Gates are cool, but piles of the snow in the park are much, much cooler.
