    went to see the bird's nest today (jm) *pic heavy*

    so i'm still kinda feeling like hell, but when i woke up around 2pm, the sun was out, so i just got off my butt, packed my camera and went to see the birds nest. was a bit disapointed at not being able to get any closer, so ended up just taking pics of all the people there. was kinda fun too, and the sun was nice, yet mild, so i just genuinly enjoyed myself.

    here are the pics:

    this is the walk up to where you can see the stadium:

    Very nice pictures, Janet.  I'm fascinated by the teeny tiny kite.  How cool is that?

    • Gold Top Dog

    Janet, I have to say that your "coverage" is way better than the networks!

    You make me feel like I am there.  How cool is that?

    • Gold Top Dog

    thanks guys! Big Smile

    yeah, that small kite was just really neat! wish i coulda caught it in flight, but the other photographer scared him away! lol.

    yeah, i'm really enjoying this as well. i really thought the olympics would pretty much suck, but i'm actually having a good time and there's just lots more to see than what's going on in the stadiums. it's really cool!

     Great photos!

    Good job... Wink

    That teeny kite is way cool
