See, I know how much these will have meant to you! Good feeling being there?

I find the first shot of the venue quite cool. Such a strange combination of the high tower blocks and pretty commercialised venue stuck in the middle, all with the cloud floating past. The tower blocks remind me of the towers at Aberdeen harbour in Hong Kong and on the way out to the airport there, quite cool but also quite grim. :)

Cheers for that Dave. It was in an odd place, although we couldn't believe how (relatively) green HK was. I didn't actually get to do all the things you told me to as I was preparing to do them in the last three days before I got food poisoning. Your shots from Victoria Peak were amazing!
Yeah great to be over there and to see Todd who I grew up knowing but never thought I would see compete again at the Olympics!
