PHOTO ESSAY: Christo's Umbrella Project, California

What a marvelous project!  Seeing the umbrellas was joyful, as if we were all in communion.  They were so beautiful; something a bit comic about it all, too.  Whimsical - although the umbrellas were substantial, the fierce winds of the Gorman pass tore one loose, killing  a woman tourist.

So, that the umbrellas exhibit was closed, not called by rain, but time.
