Olympic Torch Relay
Just passed by my house, so fresh from the camera.

I saw the vestal virgins on the BBC news site the other day, lighting the bloody thing. Looked like some 60's re-incarnation of a pagan ceremony. Almost woodstock like.
I wonder what the restrictions on photography will be at the olympic venue. They are sure to want to stop anyone from making any money out of it without taking their share.

I submitted my attempt at a logo for 2012 but it wasn't accepted. Can't think why not. No imagination those organisers and certainly no worse than the one they chose.

The 1996 torch relay headed through my town. The streets were lined with people, but when the caravan arrived the torch had blown out.
