It snowed here last night so that gave it a different look. And when I say 'pretty cool', I mean that. Like it wasn't totally mindblowing as maybe one might think because it is such an ambitious project. What I'm sort of wondering about is why some people are looking for some great message or looking to 'get' something out of this thing. There is nothing to 'get'. It's just a repetetive image in a public space. No strings attached, no buttons to push. Whaddaya want for free??
