More Cranes While We Wait

Some of you who know me well have figured out what this announcement business is about.  Well, not yet. So, then, some more paper cranes from Art Hill. You can see the art museum in both photos and the monumental statue The Apotheosis of Saint Louis in the second.       

A Thousand Paper Cranes

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.
