2012 Olympics - Wild flowers

2012.08.07

Our official Olympic photo... (obviously I cannot claim to have taken this one)
pixel
although it looks like he is in the middle of the flowers, there was a pathway through the centre, which he was sitting on...

stopping to smell the flowers...

a green wall... thousands of succulents make up this green wall, beats the hell out of a concrete slab!

In the landscaping of the Olympic park they planted 4000 trees and used 74 000 plants to make it look beautiful... and I think they did a stirling job.. the wild flower meadows were the prettiest I have ever seen...
A little known fact.. also in the construction of the park 2000 newts were captured and relocated... it is good to know they didn't just flatten everything with bull dozers and wreckless abandon!

lookwhatisaw Last photo is perfectly "arranged" and the colors are also a perfect variety. Well done on choosing that shot. And the green wall: amen on the improvement on a concrete slab. As for the little head growing out of the tall grass? Hmm, interesting plant, to be sure!
