The Olympic .. err .. Blue Boxes Are Here!

The Olympic .. err .. Blue Boxes Are Here!, originally uploaded by VancouverDoug.

Over the past few days the Olympic Construction Elves ('ookees' as we call 'em) have been carefully placing large blue box structures on both sides of the entrance into False Creek here in Vancouver. The boxes themselves are interconnected via underground cabling which you can see in the photo as a nice slash in the otherwise clean green of the lawn at Sunset Beach.

My guess? Spot light stands with the long trough connecting the boxes being the high voltage AC the lights will need. Oh ... Joy.

On the flip side though, once they fire those puppies up night will become day around here and us Vancouverites can start to party like it's 1999. :)
