The Christo Gates installation in Central Park

Feb 13, 2005. "The Gates" - this is Central Park, New York on the opening day of the Christo Gates installation. Here we are on a hill overlooking the boathouse close to Fifth Avenue at about 72nd Street. I have to admit that I was underwhelmed by what I saw on the day, but after I put this 8 image mosaic together I felt it was a little more interesting. 

The field of view is about 100° by 65°, and this extra wide view works better that the naked eye, IMHO.

And here was the last day of the Gates.
