(Please right-click foto and open in new window for more fotos)Today is my free day and I am very excited.
The reason is that I will be going to the Bird's Nest to watch some exciting finals of the athletics.
As it is, the view of the Nest is awesome and the whole area is permanently filled with thousands of people seeking to take shots of the nest and the water cube.
My aim is to take shots when it gets dark.
I was lost with words after I entered the nest. The first words that came out of my lips were "WoW"!!!!
Today I perfectly understood why a lot of athletes break down into tears during a medal ceremony. The whole atmosphere comes with a deep emotional touch and it is certainly one of those things you really need to experience in real life.
The highlight for me was the 110m Hurdles showdown which the cuban Dayron Robles won. It was the perfect race for him.
After the event I came out and the view of the nest and the water cube with changing colors was so fascinating.
I went to the 10th floor of the DHQ (our main technology center), which is just 50 meters away from the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest.
I paid a short visit to Karim Samir, an Atos Colleague who has been on the Olympic Project for over 6 months now.
I took the opportunity to take some shots from the 10th floor because I had an excellent view of the Cube and Nest!!!
Another fantastic day...
