The Olympic / Paralympic flames 31.08.12

George and I crept up and along the walk behind the seats to get as close as we could to the flames. We could smell and feel the heat and the haze above was clear. Had to include a photo of it, having looked longingly at it on tele so many times!

[Cromwell]

Good for you. Do whatever it takes to get "the shot", even if it means bending the rules. That's my motto!

[GPix]

Good on you!! Good shot! Bend the rules and act innocent!!

[Tony]

Brilliant capture Phil, well worth the effort. Fav

[KWind]

Great shot. Love exciting to be there!!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I love the hard metallic of the torch and the way the heat rising changes the scene behind...this is so cool!

[Cathy Donohoue]

That is gorgeous.
I looked longingly also - glad you got to see it for me!
You go girl.

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

How neat!

[Henri Russell]

This is an awesome photo of the Olympic Flames. Good for you getting the shot.

[Alison Miller]

Great capture...worth the stealth!!

[Lyn]

How grand that you got to be here and get this glorious shot!

[Sheila Coates]

Great shot!

[Shirley Banford]

Excellent shot of the flames. George must be as brave as you are. He seems like a great companion. Most guys his age would be saying "oh Mom".

[Louise]

Sneaking around usually pays off! Great photo, I love the effect of the haze whilst everything else in the image is sharp and detailed.

[John]
