Barb Scott Park (2)

Last Sunday, January 10, 2021 we decided to visit a small park in the downtown area that exhibits a beautiful and interactive piece of art: the Chinook Arc. We drove there in the chilly afternoon. The park is very small and has an ice skating rink using most of its space now during the winter. 

The Chinook Arc calls attention for its size and lights. 

We explored the Arc trying to understand how the interactive part of it works with the cellphone and we took some photos. We then realized that in the dark it would be much nicer to see the lights and decided going for a short walk, getting something warm to drink until dusk.  

On our way to the coffee store we captured a few interesting and beautiful art around. Those we will share in another post....

When back to Barb Park we had a delight enjoying and photographing the Chinook Arc again, now showing its true colors!

                                             

I, Arthur liked...

The CHINOOK ARC had some  REALY cool features! Like waving your hand in front of thing that some-what resembles a record system type of thing! It then turns the lights red which is the impact of waving your hand and/or what ever color is in front of the record system it will change to! You just have to HOLD the button until it turns Green - ish, Blue but its mostly BLUE, then put something right below the button, then just watch the colors change as you move or the video from the phone plays or whatever the thing you put under the button!  :)     (:   !

Getting in the car, this was our view!

We want to come back again, next time at night and with two cell phones, one to project the colors and the other to take photos! ;) Good excuse to come back to Barb Scott Park.

At the City of Calgary you can find more information about Barb Scott Park and

about the Chinook Arc structure project.

Cheers!
