Olympics – closing ceremony

ByDMcA

Thanks to a very generous friend, I was able to be at the Olympic stadium for the closing ceremony of the main Olympics.  This was a quite bonkers event, but astounding to watch, and wonderful to participate in.  Here are some photos, taken again with the little Canon.

I have not provided captions for the pictures as I had no idea what was going on.  Similarly, there has been no colour balance correction, as the scene was so wildly garish it was not clear what the correct setting was.  The selection of images is based on what looked interesting or came out well, not my favorite parts of the show.  I don’t want you thinking that I am a Spice Girls fan for example.  As usual, the photos are best seen in full screen (press FS in the bottom right hand corner), and in slide show ( press SL).

  • Kommejtkie rockpool

    ByDMcA

    A morning walk with M*t*n and P*tt* on the beach at Kommejtkie.   Walkers, surfers, dogs f*cking, families, loners, getting a mild dose of pre-breakfast exercise, on an uncharacteristically cold and grey strand. Later I went for a run on Noordhoek beach, 6km over. I had driven back, changed, and then started from the other end…
