Olympic Fever by andycoleborn

Olympic Fever

Went to the first of my four events at the London 2012 Olympics today.. the men's Quarter-Final football at Wembley between Mexico and Senegal..

Was good - but strange being at a game with 82,000 other people where apart from a few thousand Mexicans and a handful of Senegalise, no one really cared who won... As it was, it was a decent game which Meixco won 4-2 after extra time...

The real fun was in the evenng tho, as once home it was a case of settling down in front of the box watching GB wipe the floor in the athletics winning gold in the women's heptathlon, men's long jump and men's 10,000 metres... top, top night.!
Stunning shot - is it St Pancras? You've lined it up so well, and it's great in B&W.
