Olympic Stadium
- 11 January 2012 20:49146776Is looking good.
- 11 January 2012 21:27146782indeed it does jeane, something for us brits to be proud of.
- 12 January 2012 08:03146808Yes it is certainly looking good. Whats the squigly one in the middle?...its not some kind of helter-skelter is it? That wasnt an Olympic sport when I last checked...lol
On the skyline you can see several cranes in action. The pace of development in London rarely slows down, it goes on seperately to the huge development for the Olympics.email: dover7@msn.com - 12 January 2012 09:23146818I think the helter skelter is some sort of sculpture, not sure though - at first I thought it was an odd looking crane!
- 12 January 2012 09:50146826Isn't it an Anthony Gormless ?Been nice knowing you :)
- 12 January 2012 10:25146831I believe its a veiwing platform. but I agree with you Paul it is a bit Gormless.
A dog is just not for christmas save some for boxing day - 12 January 2012 11:40146857I've just found out it's a 120 meter tall, looping tower by the artist Anish Kapoor. People will be able to climb it for a spectacular view of London. It was unveiled by Boris last year.
- 12 January 2012 11:59146861Let's hope that the stadium does not become a white elephant and a burden on the taxpayer post Olympics, the climbing tower would have been described in the past as a folly!Audere est facere.
- 12 January 2012 12:31146865I must say that the climbing tower looks a bit wierd, when I saw the drawings and scale model for it in the initial planning stage it was painted bright red
I wonder what the charge will be to climb the 'interesting' edifice to view Olympic events this year, £2.50p? I don't think so. It will be interesting to see what name Londoner's will come up with for the interesting building
- 12 January 2012 12:57146871It's still bright red but it was hard to see that as the sun was beating down on it yesterday morning. The cost to ascend the Olympic tower in Munich is 3 Euros but no doubt this will cost more!
It's been nicknamed London's Eiffel Tower and the Tower of Babel (which apparently was an influence!) - 12 January 2012 17:43146936still a battle between tottenham and west ham over taking over the stadium but the olympic committee seem to have it in their heads that it could be a full time athletics stadium.
