I suspect that one of the reason why Christo and Jeanne-Claude wanted the Gates to be mounted in February (and you can interpret that statement however you like, you pervy readers, you) was in the hopes that it would snow and the bright saffron orange would really pop out against a blanket of white.
Well, however improbable or speculative this theory may be, these pictures taken by my dad the other day when it snowed at least confirm the fact that they do look pretty amazing in a snow-covered Central Park.
Now, if it’d only snowed about a foot more, then we’d really have something…
Well, it’s supposed to snow over the next few days…
Ditto.
Very Kurosawa.
