The London 2012 Olympics. Years of planning and construction, bucket-loads of money and all over in two weeks…but it was bloody great. Despite many Londoners being full of cynicism prior to the event, it was a roaring success. I’m lucky enough to live pretty close to the Olympic site and also had tickets to a number of events.

Must have been amazing! I live in Vancouver and was able experience the Olympic spirit in 2010.
Fantastic photos. Wish we had been able to get tickets. Couldn’t get them for the para olympics either.
