I like tiny book of tiny pleasures . Even I have a tiny calendar of tiny pleasures.
The book (and calendar) contains tiny happiness pictures in everyday life.
I want to collect my little pleasures too!
what do I feel happy for ? I like going out to step on new snow.
Those happiness are not big things. Easily miss that happiness unless try to notice and memorize.
I like big art exhibitions in outside.
Last year, I enjoyed the Boston downtown art exhibition called “ BOSTON WINTERACTIVE”
That is a huge art installation event at multiple location I down town Boston.
It’s free and open to public. ( That’s important)
The BOSTON WINTERACTIVE started this year again. January to March 30th.
I can wait to see these installations till March for the comfortable weather.
Because It’s cold now. How cold it is?
Boston common pond is freezing completely.
Actually many people enjoy walking on the frozen pond though.
In this cold weather, ( or always )I become very lazy and not go outside at all.
I should walk !
I need a motivation to walk! So this WINTERACTIVE event give me the good excuse to walk in the cold weather.
First art I found was pink man.
It is the entrance street from park street station to downtown crossing.
The big butt is very standout .
At the corner of downtown, there is volunteers guide for Boston.
I got an art map.
But there is no address for the art location.
I am not good of reading map. When I was rotating the map to find where I was,
The guide man taught me all locations of pink man ( Actually their name are Mr.Pink )from his memory.
Impressive memory!
Mr.Pink were cute. I could not tell Mr or Ms. Very easy to find from the distance.
Most impressive one for me was Living Lantern.
That Lantern moves very organically and make small squeaking noise like a small bird.
Surprisingly that organic movement and sound made by the wind of the street.
Secondly I liked the balloons in front of the south station.
I enjoyed the color changing ball sculptures with south station landscape. Also the balloons inside has moving objects which makes interesting shadow animations on the balloon’s surface.
The biggest balloon has small windows where people can see inside snowy villages.
And there is more to enjoy it!
This day I only found the 3 pink man , light
and living Lantern,
I can’t wait to find left of other arts!
