watching in anticipation, still 20 minutes away, flags and noisemakers ready…
the convoy begins, cheers rise up as we look beyond the big vans for the main attraction, still minutes away
there he is, the torch bearer (don’t know his name, sigh) … 
and by the magic of post editing, the sky darkens to illuminate the main attraction who is almost obscured by the all the lights of the vans and cop cars and streetlights…
in a flash, the flame passes by
somewhere in the melee the torch is passed…
The End (for today)
55 more days to go.
What fun!

ReplyDeleteWell, you were there for a momentous occasion, let that be said.
ReplyDeleteNora: didn't want to miss out!
ReplyDeleteI remember the great excitement that I felt when the Olympic torch passed through my hometown of Long Beach two days before the Los Angeles Olympics began in 1984. I'm glad that you got to experience that, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Monastery Daily Photo. I'm glad to find you, too.
