It was sunny at lunchtime, so I went up to Columbus Circle, to take a look at the current state of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates. As of about 20 minutes ago, the state of that is that most of the paths going into Central Park at the southwest corner have their orange frameworks, and the crew are installing them on the remaining one. When I got there, they were putting up the fourth.
So I hung out, ate my sandwich, and watched them put together and raise two or three gates. They looked practiced, as makes sense after doing however many together in the last few days.
Seeing them ready to be unfurled as the sunny February day turned cloudy, I realized something that the drawings hadn't brought home: the bright orange is just the thing for a northern winter.
