The Olympic Agora is a structure designed by Santiago Calatrava for the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. It consists of 99 parabolic arches that are linked to form a ceremonial route running along the Athens Olympic Complex.

Riessersee is an artificial lake in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It hosted speed skating and ice hockey events for the 1936 Winter Olympics (Germany is by the way the only country that hosted both Winter and Sommer Olympics in the same year) Now this lake is a popular bathing location on hot summer days and a trailhead for some great hiking tours in the area.

Its been a long time since we've seen clouds in the morning.

Alas, no trip to Rio for the real thing, but a neighborhood pub in Westport, Kansas City with our son Shawn for great burgers and fries (The Green Room) . . .a cozy place to watch the competition. . .

As the sun sets behind the seastacks of Ruby Beach, the clouds fill in with color, and reflections appear in the estuary.

Nearly at the summit. Looking towards the Olympic mountain range. And what's left of the receding glaciers.

Alle Plätze bleiben leer und dass auch an wichtigen Spieltage im Fußball, keine Sportveranstaltungen, keine open air Konzerte.....nichts.

Für Fotografen ein Traum, für die Wirtschaft nicht. Man kann nur hoffen, dass das Virus-Szenario bald ein Ende hat. Aber momentan sieht es leider nicht danach aus.

------------

All seats remain empty and that even on important match days in soccer ⚽️ , no sporting events 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️, no open air concerts 🎶 .....nothing.

For photographers a dream, for the economy not. One can only hope that the virus scenario will soon come to an end. But unfortunately it doesn't look like that at the moment.

A 3-image stitch. At rest stop about a mile from the summit of Hurricane Ridge.

The loss of the glaciers is clearly seen in the distant peaks.

I was dead exhausted by this point. But after 4 hours, I wasn't going to give up.

This blue hour photograph of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics Stadium, affectionately called the “Birdnest” was taken last October during my visit to Tsinghua University and our holidays around Beijing.

It was a relatively calm evening. The waterway adjacent to the Birdnest offered a near mirror-like surface for reflections of the intricate Birdnest structure and nearby trees. Some grass by the bank of the waterway could be seen in the foreground.

This morning.
