Olympic 2012

Went to Westfield shopping centre in Stratford today - It's Europes largest shopping centre apparently, although I didn't think it was that big, but it's just like any other larger indoor shopping centre.. although it does have a good Getty Photo Gallery...

What it does give tho, is great views over the Olympic park...

This is the view fromthe 9th floor of the John Lewis car park looking East towards the main stadium - on the left is the aquatics centre.

The strange thing going up in the middle of the pic is the ArcelorMittal Orbit.. A quite ugly looking structure with viewing platforms sponsored by Lakshmi Mittal, chairman of the ArcelorMittal steel company.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArcelorMittal_Orbit

Not sure what the other white building is in the forefront of this shot is.
Are you gonna document this history in the making? The thick clouds gives a good effect on this shot.

@paulremulla Nah... been on the tour a couple of times and have tickets to a few finals, but it's not somewhere I pass too often so doubt I'll take many pics of here...
