Balloons
These modern day “art” balloons seemed appropriate to post for a Friday. I really liked this one of Van Gogh and the castle. Pretty cool. Since these were emailed to me, I’m not sure of the web source but it may be from this site: http://www.uphaa.com/blog/index.php/air-balloon/. Here’s an update to my previous post on Coney Island. Seems like the Smithsonian has acquired a piece of its history with the Star from Astroland — another fun up-in-the-air thing. Here’s a blast from the past to Kick Start the weekend — Up, Up and Away by the 5th Dimension:
Imagine Coney Island
This is perfect for a visionary but wacky week. I found this cool link of possible revitalization photos of Coney Island, the famous adventure-land, amusement park in Brooklyn, NY, from Curbed, which linked me to ImagineConey. Here is where there have be over 250 ideas submitted to architects, engineers, amusement designers and creative producers as they plan for Coney Island’s future. The public exhibit was recently on view through March 12th, but this web link has many background sources through the Municipal Arts Society (MAS), and you can still submit your ideas! It’s interesting to me to see the public’s interactive involvement in this creative process.
