Velodrome and Basketball Arena
Ten years ago, the 2012 Olympic Games took place in Stratford in the East End of London. This week, to remember that great occasion I'm posting a number of photos taken over the course of the two weeks. Some are improved versions of shots already posted, but the majority are new images I've not previously shared with the public.
This view is of part of the northern end of the Olympic Park, looking south of east across the River Lea at the (permanent) velodrome on the left (known by some as The Pringle for its distinctive shape) and the (temporary) basketball arena on the right, with a couple of art installations on the River Lawns adjacent to the river in the foreground.
