The Gates of Central Park

[roanjohn]

Would just like to share some photos from this weekend.

It was a great day - though chilly!!! The gates were scattered all over the park. It was such an interesting contrast between the otherwise dead trees and the stark orange. IN any case, walking through the gates gave me an odd (almost tranquil) experience. It was altogether grand.

whenever I first heard about that, I thought it was a monumental waste of money. I still do, but even so, I knew it'd be a cool thing to go a photograph.
