Greetings @belkyscabrera. I guess squirrels are your favorite creatures, aren't they? haha 🤣 You seem to be always on the hunt for these playful pets. Fortunately, there were a bunch of them in that amazing park. 😊
What I truly love about that green environment is its remarkable amphitheater and oval-shaped stage. The Architect and Landscape Designer were able to utilize that geography's natural terrain and equip the park with a beautiful venue for audio-visual experiences. How was the acoustical performance of that amphitheater? Were you able to witness live concerts and other performances there already?
Hi @storiesoferne , squirrels are not my favorite animals, ha ha but they do catch my attention because of how agile they are, apart from the park I have seen several of them in the grounds of a friend, who has many fruit trees, they are so fast that you know of their presence when the fruits fall and you can barely see the tail in a swift movement, in the park it took me a little time to take the picture but I finally made it.
The amphitheater is at the top, a small hill, and below the acoustic shell, is open to the sky, so the events that take place there are subject to certain times of day, usually take place very morning or in the afternoon, in the morning should be organized very well to make the most of the time, because already at 9 am the sun hits hard, I have attended concerts in the afternoon and it is incredible the view of the landscape when the sun sets, the acoustic shell is very well located and the sounds are very clear, you can appreciate each instrument with total auditory clarity, I have also attended graduations in the morning hours, moms can take beautiful pictures when their little ones go down the stairs to receive the diploma, the view is breathtaking; without a doubt a great place where architecture and nature combine to perfection.
Greetings!
Oh that's wonderful @belkyscabrera! Personally, that amphitheater is undoubtedly the apple of the eye of that park. And I'm glad to know that you already had plenty of fantastic experiences with it. Thank you for your interesting feedback. Have an enjoyable week! Blessings! 😊
From the amphitheater you can look out over the park setting, the view is beautiful @storiesoferne, and the abundance of trees makes it that much better.
Have a happy and blessed week!
Exactly @belkyscabrera! We can always bet on Mother Nature because she makes everything, most especially architecture, beautiful and a joy to experience. Until your next epic feature, all the best! 😊
