The crazy mirror at the top of the Orbit

It turned the view upside down

Inside the Stadium

Searching for the Olympic torch inside the Stadium

My only view of the Olympic Flame

The flame couldn't be seen from outside the stadium. I thought I would see it from the top of the Orbit. However, it had been moved that morning to the far end of the stadium and was under cover. So, the only view was from the big video screen. This was one of our only complaints about the park.

Stairs going down

Spotting Ron on my way down

We were only able to get one ticket to enter the Orbit. Ron bought it for me to go up and do the photos. It was way cool and I wish he could have been there with me.

A big thank you.
Thank you Pam and Ron,It is so nice to see lots of the shots and to see lots of the places the TV has not taken photos of.My daughter and Grandson live about 5 miles to the east of Stratford....so it made me feel closer to them.I doubt that I will ever get back to the UK again ,so it was especially poignant for me....a BIG THANK YOU!!!!!
