Olympics 2010


THE SIGN

Wow !! What a blast that all was !!As I am sure most of you know we have just had the 2010 Winter Olympics here in Vancouver - WELL DONE VANCOUVER!! I was out and about on four different occasions taking pictures of the people and places - it was certainly the time of many peoples lives- we can only be very happy and very proud of all the people who made this the world class event that it was ! The success was obvious to all who participated.... I hope the few pictures I have here give those who were not there a good idea of a small portion of what went on .. and for those who were here .. some pleasant memories...
Vancouver - you certainly showed the WORLD !!
