The Olympic Cauldron by abirkill

The Olympic Cauldron

The Olympic Cauldron in Vancouver was lit at 6:00pm last night to celebrate the Canadian athletes Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse, who won the gold medal in the two-women bobsleigh event earlier in the day.

It will be lit again tonight from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, to celebrate Canada's double gold medal win today in women's curling and hockey.
That's such a wonderful tribute! Rightfully so (even though I am sorry our women's hockey team lost). Great photo of it.

The curling team were invincible, we are happy with our bronze! Well done to the ice hockey team, some comeback!!

I didn't realize that Vancouver had maintained this as a park/sculpture, etc. What a wonderful way to honor your athletes and give photographers such a great photo op. The details and lighting in this are, as always, fantastic.
