Night Lights on the Canal

by Mitchell Tay on December 19, 2008 in Attractions and Adventures, Things To Do |

Night Lights on the Canal brought many patrons to downtown Scottsdale along the canal next to the Waterfront residences. Various exhibits and exhibitors showcased their creations or talents lighting up the walkway next to the canal. The local talent attracted many people to gathered around the exhibitor displaying their talents such as a fire juggler, ice sculpture, and a artistic hula hoop dancer. One other unique exhibit was the Moon Theater.  It is best explained as shining a flashlight on the wall making shadow puppets. Moon Theater puts a twist to that by creating funky looking designs when placing your hand over the light. What really caught my eye were these robotic spheres by SWARM. Many people did not know what to think of the unique looking objects as they rolled around, lit up, and made noises. Kids were so fascinated by these objects believing they were controlled by voice command. However,  these orbs actually are rolled around by remote controls or GPS coordinates. The main attraction Beautiful Light by D.A. Therrien was postponed due to weather but will debut soon!

This was the 3rd and final showcase of the Night Lights on the Canal.

Night photography is something I love to do so please enjoy these photos.
