Photos from the 2010 Figment Festival

It's June, the official beginning of summer.  With it comes warmer weather and the easy-breezy attitude that people adopt during the season.  Over the past three years, for me at least, the beginning of summer is marked by the annual Figment Festival on Governors Island.

This free art event converts the small island into a wonderland of art and sculpture.  Removed from the chaos of the city, the island possess a sense of other-worldliness.  The island itself is inviting with park areas, lanes for bikes and fantastic views of the city.  Because the event is free (and vending is kept to a minimum), you can wander without a care - taking in the sights and sounds.
