Queen Elizabeth Park
Now this is Stratford. You pass this to get into the park. To me it's a little soulless but I keep forgetting that the area was developed initially for a specific event... |
So this is the swimming pool. It was huge, you could say it was Olympic size.... |
The Orbit by Anish Kapoor. Now I'm a big fan of Anish Kapoor's stuff but this left me a little cold. We did think about going up it but baulked at the £15 entry fee... |
I was blown away by this hill of orange poppies which was just magical. I've never seen orange ones before and they just left me entranced. |
This is the velodrome both outside |
and in (though not much going on) |
There was quite a lot of sculpture dotted throughout the complex. I really liked this using a red telephone box. |
And the mirrors used on the bridges which criss crossed the waterways. |
And there were several of these mirrored spheres which were fun. |
And there were quite a few patches of flowers |
I loved this combination of grasses and alliums in front of the velodrome |
And more of the wonderful poppies - so Wizard of Oz... |
And oriental poppies too |
