The photo was taken in Central Park, NYC, in Fall 2005. You should able to see the yello cab in the background. There was a public arts exhibition called "The Gate," in which the artists put those golden/orange gates thought-out the park's walkways. Since I was staudying at Hunter College at that time, which was right next to the park, I went over there during lucnh and enjoyed the exhibition. As you can see, I was happy! >;)
