Manhattan wildlife

I keep going on about sculpture here so far, but it's purely by chance really....

The Julian Opie installation at City Hall in Manhattan is well worth the visit. More impressive than I was expecting. Around the park there are e.g. animal signs (I love the hedgehog), a cow, a sheep, a city, a flock, a cool LED animation of walking figures: one male one female, and cars. All good for playing silly buggers with. Artists who persue these installations in public spaces must love that interactive aspect of their work, I assume.

We mixed with the tourists today and took the Staten Island ferry over and back from Battery Park. Great views of Manhattan and Liberty on the way back - a combination of cloud over Staten Island and a frontlit Gotham made the city and Lady Liberty look impressive.
