Art and the Olympic Games, Olympic Parks

Artsy Parks.   The parks throughout Sydney, Barcelona, and Los Angeles were exciting, Beijing's was massive and colorful (contained the awesome and famous bird's nest and cube), Atlanta's had fountains of fun, Old Town Montreal, Whistler, Mexico City and Park City Utah were incredibly festive but...for me, two parks were true WORKS OF ART, Athens and Munich.

A large pool of water reflected and magnified the splendor for crowds as they entered the Athens Olympic Park.  Animated moving walls where projected video delighted the crowds as they walked to and from their venues.  In Munich a master plan of venues where sidewalks gradually widened and swirled us around our olympic wonderland.  Interactive continuous music along Theatrestrasse, huge dramatic, beautifully functional tent like structures above our heads gave us shade for comfort yet light for delight!
