The Orbit - 1 Year On

"We lit up the flame, we lit up the world" ~~ Lord Coe (Chair of the London 2012 Organizing Committee)

It seems strange to think that one year, one day ago the Olympic Stadium in London was igniting with excitement of the world riding on it. It was only last night I was watching the Opening Ceremony on BBC 3, it even was trending on twitter, something that I never thought would happen one year on. So here it is, the Orbit done in watercolors.
