The Olympic Park at Night - Part 2

The Water Polo Arena


The Olympic Stadium

I only recall seeing the horses at night, although they were probably there in the day too. I got the sense that the horses were used for crowd control.

The Basketball Arena

The Olympic Stadium

Now this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.  It's a waterfall created by Julius Popp that can "write" letters and words.  There were a series of these waterfalls along one of the walkways that was under one of the bridges in the Olympic Park. 

I really don't think this one picture does this work of art justice, so please see the video below:


If you'd like to have one of these fountains for your home, you can get one here for only $100,000 (and up).

    Amazing - you're pictures are better than most of the ones I've seen in the magazines. Bob Costas made a snarky remark about badminton that surprised me, especially since this seems as skilled as the other sports. Love your pictures outsisde of the players and the links to additional information. Thanks for easing us down from our Olympic high. Seems like nothing we are doing now is quite as exciting as watching the games then chasing our great nephew around pretending to be Olympians.
