One week to go now until we host the Commonwealth games and the city is looking nicely spruced up in readiness.
This girl with ribbons is part of a display in St Phillip’s Square (known locally as the pigeon park).
@fishers Thanks Ian. No, I’m not really into sport but I must say I’ve enjoyed the build up and excitement of it. I’ve watched the stadium being built over the last couple of years as I’ve passed it on my canal walks and now seeing all of the displays in the city has been great.
My only worry now is rail strikes as this will affect the spectators getting to the various venues. Fingers crossed though…
I did consider going for photos of the baton relay when it passed through York, but sadly it was impossible to get a definitive time for it. Judging by the photos I saw, there were few people to see it. It is quite a challenge to get sport photos. I've had attempts with cycle racing. Lots of waiting around and then it's all over in a few seconds!
