Christo's Umbrellas, Tejon Pass, October 1991

Some of the 1,760 umbrellas that conceptual artist Christo had installed over the rocky and undulating hills of Tejon Pass, situated between Los Angeles and Bakersfield in 1991. When I scanned this slide, I kept the slide borders, as it reminded me of looking out a window. I took this photo during a short trip my friend Breck Wilson and I took to see the umbrellas. I was impressed. Sadly, a woman viewing the umbrellas on a windy day was killed when one of the umbrellas fell over.
