I wish I were there. What a lovely photograph.

Update: Sorry, this is the fireworks display over Olympic Stadium as the Olympic torch is lit.

Haven't even got that far yet, but it would have to be the only interesting point in this excruciatingly boooorrrrring (and silly) opening ceremony.

*yawn*

I'll confess to saying that I absolutely love the part where they light the caldron.

Gives me chills everytime.

That was the bestest torch lighting yet. Even beats out the arrow at Barcelona.
It was also one of the very few highlights of this overproduced, undercritiqed yawnfest.

Yeah, it was way cool.
