Saturday At The Gates

Following the official unfurling, I spent the next seven hours exploring Central Park with Susanne, my brother Eric and his girlfriend Kim. The crowd grew steadily throughout the day.

	The gates curve with the path.		One of the few double rows of gates.
	Closeup.		They're much more interesting from an angle.
	The width of each Gate varies depending on the width of the path.		A view across the pond, towards Central Park West.
	Closeup of a gate directly above me. See a video of walking through the gate!		The top of the gate is around 14 feet high.
	Billowing in the wind. See the video!		A great view of a gate facing Central Park West.
	Same view, different wind.		It's approaching 9:30am, and there are still plenty of gates to unfurl. See the video!
	People view more gates.		The opposite side of the lake, looking into the park.
	Closeup of the gates across the lake.		Unfurling another gate. See the video!
	A nice view of the skyline to the southeast.		Christo and Jeanne-Claude walking down to the lake to enjoy the view. See the video!
	A nice intimate moment, surrounded by hundreds of onlookers. See them overlooking the lake.		Another chance to compare Jeanne-Claude's hair to the color of the gates.
	The lake, with more gates in the foreground.		Eugene the Bernese mountain dog and his owner viewing the gates from a bridge.
	Calling out to say hello to some volunteers.		Gates as seen from Central Park West and 75th Street, give or take.
	Walking uphill not far from Belvedere Castle.		Another double row of gates.
	Near the meadow.		Looking south.
	The heart of Central Park.		Kim and Susanne walk towards the lake.
	Gates seen across the ice.		Across the lake towards tke skyline.
	Andy offers a goofy grin.		Eric and Kim enjoying the romance of The Gates.
