Where did that light come from?

Now this is fun. There are search lights at the mouth of False Creek in Vancouver set up for public art. The fun part is that anyone can submit a light design to be shown.

Yes, of course I did!

All you need to do is go to the website Vectorial Elevation (and maybe download the google earth image plugin if you don't have it already, and reboot - ok, it does take a bit of effort, deal with it) And then you can point the search lights to make an interesting pattern. The design I made for last Friday is to the left.

Once you submit the design, the website tells you when the design will be shown. The lights are on from dusk until dawn, changing every few minutes to a new design.

They even send you an email with images of what your design actually looked like on the night! See the image to the left! It looks a bit more dramatic with the clouds.

I've set up another one for tonight - it will be displayed at about 7pm. And we can even see it from our balcony! Well, most of it, there are these buildings in the way... but it's cool anyway.

I may do this many times before the Olympics are over!
