Interactive Gates

Okay, okay. So I really AM a glutton for this project. Since I can't be there in real life, this interactive feature in the NY Times is the next best thing to being there.

Click on 'The Gates:' An Appraisal under the Multimedia section of this NY Times' article and see/hear Michael Kimmelman's assessment of this incredible Gates project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
