On Saturday the Color Run came to Manhattan. http://thecolorrun.com/manhattan/#ad-image-image2
I thought it sounded like a wonderful photo opportunity, but decided to do my usual grocery shopping with Mom first and then walk down to the stadium where it began and ended. By the time I got there about 11:30 the event was all finished and there were just a few people packing up and cleaning. In retrospect I should have rearranged the grocery shopping to the afternoon and gone to the stadium first thing in the morning. According to one young woman I spoke to, they had about 4,000 or so people total. Each group they let go at a time was 300 people.
Oh, well...I can't complain. I took some pictures of what I saw and had a wonderful leisurely walk back up to Mom's house, taking photos all along the way. Here are some men sweeping up some of the leftover color powder. There's another photo posted here of some barrels of color powder: http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2014-09-14
