RainDance at Santana Row

| 0 Comments
I was in Santana Row yesterday, when I came upon an odd structure sitting next to the giant chess pieces; three tall poles painted red, white and blue, the sign said I should ask for a umbrella from the concierge, and I returned to walk under the showers of water.

Yesterday morning, there weren't many people trying this exhibit; save for me, the exhibit was empty, and the other patrons of Santana Row were too busy scurrying from shop to shop to pay much attention.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked under the streams of water; but what happened next was music. When I walked under the stream of water, the water would hit the umbrella and trigger what sounded to me to be an electronic music box, and I suddenly became the center of attention. People in their sunglasses and shopping bags stopped and stared as walked under the rain; and I was asked by more than one person where the umbrellas for the exhibit came from.

Here's a video as I walked through the exhibit:
