Olympic Bandwagon...

...Something I was determined not to jump onto, hoping in fact to leave the country while the rest of the planet came here and made the city a human zoo. But a decent shot is any photographer's Achille's Heel, so I eventually relented on the opening night of The Olympic Games.I got to Tower Bridge, by way of a short stop in Hays Galleria, and waited eagerly and patiently for a promised fireworks extravaganza. When it finally happened nearly two hours later, it was barely a minute long, and a paltry show! I then traversed over to the Houses Of Parliament, which was being used as a screen receiving projections of images from past Olympic Games. That was actually a lot of fun.Anyway, I'm still mostly indifferent to the entire event, but at least I managed a few shots to post here. Enjoy.

My favourite, with the half Moon and Union Jack both in the shot, and aiming a javelin at Parliament reflects the sentiments of many!
