Ok so the Olympics are nearly over but the legacy of the structures that are scattered all over the Olympic park will remain a part of London's historic attractions. I personally cannot even decide on what I love the most, whether its the Olympic stadium taking centre stage or the Velodrome that was so amazing I was addicted to watching the sprinters on their bikes.
I was lucky enough to visit the Olympic park before its completion in 2009 and I still remember the day I was a few meters away from the Aquatic centre no words can describe how amazing it is,the triangular structure that holds up the smooth curvy roof is rather spectacular. I wasn't surprised that the Architect responsible for the structure (Zaha Hadid) won the prize of having her design be the final one to implemented for the Aquatic centre her idea was easy on the eye yet screamed water,perfect for the sport it would be hosting.
Thankfully my friend was able to attend the opening ceremony and take a few snaps of the Stadium and when I saw them I got goosebumps all over me its an engineers dream to see such structures and while it looks huge from outside it looked even bigger from inside.

Just before the opening ceremony starts love the triangular masts around the stadium
Olympic rings!!!!!!!
Love the chain of the flags
Amazing at night!
The crowds have filled the stadium!
I personally loved the tribute to Brunel and the industrial revolution the master of engineering
The steel rings go up!
Arcelor Mittal Orbit not my cup of tea but still interesting I do hope go up it one day
Overall I im really excited about all the different structures that were made for the Olympics and it will remain a part of London and what it achieved for the Olympics.
Here are a few photos I found on-line of the velodrome which are amazing the links are available here, here and here.
