Olympic Park

I didn't get tickets for any Olympic events, but I was lucky enough to get tickets to what turned out to be one of the best nights of athletics during the Paralympics, 'Thriller Thursday'.  Being as this was going to be our only chance to see the Olympic Park, we arrived at lunchtime and spent the afternoon looking around, including a trip up the Orbit.

The Orbit's upper viewing platform contains two huge distorting concave mirrors.  These gave vastly different views, one moment distorted, the next clear view as you moved around in front of them, and, if you stood just in the right spot, the London skyline turned upside down.

 More to come.
