This dome shape structure by Korean architect, Minsuk Cho almost encased the entire park south of Spring Street between Cleveland Place and Spring Street. The project entitled, Ring Dome was made out of hundreds of hula hoop-like tubes secured together by thousands of fabric straps to produce the dome.To see the see from inside the Ring Dome, click on here to the Making of NYC DP.
So when was the last time you took a spin with a hula hoop?

i randomly came upon that last week and spent a good hour or so reading inside.
and i never had the rhythm to hula-hoop.
Very cool. It looks organic, an unknown life form, enveloping the fence and digging into the earth. New York doesn't need a new kind of alien, though.
I like it!
vraiment superbe et tres original. Il se passe toujours quelque chose de Strange à NYC.
really superb and very original. It always passes something from Strange to NYC.
Hey, that's pretty funny that there's a NYC Daily Photo site and a Making of NYC Daily Photo Site.
:o)
My first reaction was a ball of string for the record. I have not seen anything like it before. Nice photograph of it.
clever!!

Nice. Almost as if a gigantic, previously unknown, plant species suddenly bloomed in the park. I would kill to see what the famous 'Blue Men' group would do with this...? Perhaps they could suddenly stumble upon it in the park and carefully investigate it's perimeter.
How interesting.

I think it's been a while since I've even picked up a hoola hoop.Even if I have,I wouldn't even use it.
love it!!!!
as for hula hoop, I can;t for the life of me remember...but I do have some (very minor) ability to belly dance so that should count
Amazing! You have a good eye for the unusual, Ming! I saw on Wikipedia that in Egypt around 3,000 years ago, hoops made out of grape vines were propelled around the ground with sticks.
Hula-hoop.... Humm... many years ago... In Portuguese we says "bambolê"
That's so cool--neat that you can really sit inside!
Awesome!!! I love it! This is the first day time picture I see of this. Itis gorgeous.
I think I would like one just like that in my back yard, and I would train ivy... or perhaps grapes... to climb up and cover it. And then I would sit inside on hot days and eat the grapes.
Wow! Cool!

Never good in the hula loop. Oops, the huge dome has even encroached beyond the fence :O
Beautiful art. Looks like a foam bubble coming over the fence.
Ooooh, Ming!!!!! It reminds of "The Blob". Has it reached NYC from Nowheresville mid-America? Are the aliens still inside it?
Hey, Ming. I can't remember the last time a hula hoop fell to my feet! Ha, ha!
Glad you like the clean MAX stop and the great big goose. I'll have to try to get some photos of live geese at some point, and we can compare them. As for the cleanliness, there are parts of Portland that I frequent where the streets are very clean, others sort of clean. With at least 500,000 inside the city limits, I think that's amazing.
Very inneresting....
reminds me of that project where you wrap sugar coated string around a balloon, let it dry and then pop and remove the balloon...
Ya know??
Good photos!! I love that
wow!
I like it very much !
