Waiting for the Paralympic torch in London, 2012.

The torch had not yet arrived.

I prefer the full-screen view. Your opinion may vary.

Looks a 'little bit' overcrowded !!

This was the most crowded part of the route, Jaap, although there were spectators on the sidewalks and islands for about a kilometre north. I eventually got to see the torch before any of the people waiting for it, and it was an anti-climax, A young woman holding a torch. No showbiz at all.

Thanks, Keith. I like being at the back of crowds like that. I'm tall enough to see over the people in front, and I get to breathe, too.

Thanks, Ulrich. It does bring the day back to me, and it was a oretty good day. I have other photos of the crowd which I have posted before but then removed when the site appeared about to fold, so I may bring them back.

Well captured, John. I'd forgotten that phones were already used as cameras then.

Now that you mention it. George, so had I. If you'd asked me out of the blue if people were using phone cameras in 2012 I probably would have been nonplussed. Until I saw this photo.

Full screen is definitely best John as it brings out not only the detail but the atmosphere. A little slice of history in the making. Well captured

Thank you very much, Carol. Now that you mention it, I see how the full-screen view makes you feel as if you're stepping into the scene. Thanks again.

A good moment to smell armpits perfumes of all kind.

Yes, it was getting a bit intimate. Not as intimate as the Métro, though, or the way the St. Clair streetcar in Toronto could get when they were still using the old cars. That was quite the experience.
