Something unusual happened in Forest Park yesterday. A thousand or more origami cranes appeared on Art Hill, filling the greensward with gestures of flight and peace, yet ever so tethered to the earth. It was a memorial for police and firefighters who died in the line of duty and a benefit for their families. The event was organized by The STL Crane Project. Visitors could take home a crane for a donation and you can see how the flock was thinning by late afternoon. Walking across the hill taking pictures felt otherworldly.
There may be a major announcement tomorrow. Maybe.

I love this. Very cool.
Very interesting way of going about it, Bob. I particularly like the monument at the top.
I like your view on this occasion Bob, love that the cranes 'disappeared' over the evening, people can be so generous, it restores faith oui :) I wonder if what I'm thinking about the 'announcement' is correct ?????
Amazing project! Love how you photographed it.
That's a good idea. Did you go away with one?
Oh how wonderful. I'm so glad you were there to experience that B.
