People who witnessed the raising of the gates talked about it as if they went up by themselves.

The day we arrived in New York, the moment we stepped off the plane, the snow started to fall. By the time we got to Central Park the next day to walk the path(s) of the Gates, the foot & a half of snow had melte just enough to turn the trees black. This resulted in the entire park being covered by a blanket of white snow, black silhoettes, and huge flowing oranges gates.

I loved watch people walking throught them.
Initial, their attention would be up, on the gate they were passing, but within just a few moments they would begin to look out into the infinate passages. Only when a hill or annoying large group got in the way did people seem to mark each passing gate.

I had wanted to count them, the instinct arrise from the challenge of finding one missing or one more. But I too forgot myself within the stark contrast of the sky and the gates or the gates and the ground.
