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.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting way of going about it, Bob. I particularly like the monument at the top.
ReplyDeleteI 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 ?????
ReplyDeleteAmazing project! Love how you photographed it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. Did you go away with one?
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful. I'm so glad you were there to experience that B.
