London 2012 Olympics

A selection of photographs taken during a wonderful weekend of Olympic action. In good company under a great atmosphere of excitement and happiness of all attending events. The stadia were amazing, but the Olympia park was a fine example of the best of the british countryside with vast areas wildflowers feeding bees, butterflies and moths. It was a pleasure to walk the vast parkland to take in the atmosphere and see the flowers.
