I got the chance to go see the Christo installation The Gates in Central Park on its opening day. It was really very beautiful to look through the bare trees and see the park glowing with these orange (technically "saffron") structures. One gate on its own isn't that impressive, but when they are ranged as far as they eye can see, it's really something to look at. The gates are as wide as the paths they cover, so they're narrower on foot paths and wider on trails, which is something that I wasn't expecting.

I'm so lucky to live in New York.
