Went to the Olympics today. We had tickets for the diving but it was as much to see the whole Olympic park and to feel the buzz of the atmosphere.
It was a very interesting experience. There were some amazing pieces of architecture - not least the 'singing building' - and some less effective pieces. There were wetlands and concrete cages, there were definite attempts to get the rural feel shining through. In the aquatic centre it was very easy to see what was going on in the swimming pool below, even from the gods.
See for yourself - here are the buildings.

Although it has been disappointing that helicopters have not been well used in the games - and we could have done with one to take us home - there was a Squirrel watching the whole day. It could have been police or press and it certainly had a camera in its nose.
I lifted my thumb hopefully but no dice.
