The Colours of Winter

The weekend that passed, had a theme. It was colour.
Not pre-planned, turned out such.
From the insane wish-wash of colour at the newly opened Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in Manhattan, to the artful expression of darkness, coupled with excellent technical lighting proficience in "Black" (the movie), to the vibrant hues of orange, smeared across the woody, barren and wintery canvas in Central Park....This weekend was about the colours in the New York winter.
The city infamously known to turn "black" in winter, revealed its subtle colourful side.
Manhattan is Modern again....The MOMA is back!
'Black' is beautiful!
Cristo's "Gates" at Central Park are fluttering in the wind, interactive, and 1.089 million yards of orange-yellow fabric pieces, enveloping its 23 miles of dynamic pathways!

All of them are forms of art, at its very best!

Yes, It just moved back after the building has been revamped. They've done a good job of it.
