I tried on two seperate days to get NEAR central park by car … usually you can get parking in one of the underground lots in the area, but not a single one had room… that is a huge number of people …

I am going in this weekend by subway to get some good pictures of the display and hope to get a couple that are nice enough to post :)

Is it art?  No idea.  But they had to be taken down after a couple of weekends when gusts of wind blew one down on a tourist.
