bird over bird's nest
I haven't had the chance to talk about the Beijing National Stadium, aka Bird's Nest. Using/wasting a horrible 45000 tonnes of steel, it is definitely some engineering project. Before the Beijing Olympics closes this Sunday, let me show you some nice satellite photos taken from GeoEye.
Taken on August 27, 2006, they are still building the nest.
October 7, 2007, the nest looks more complete.
July 19, 2008. Before the opening ceremony, can you make out the scroll and the elevated stage?
August 18, 2008. The field events have started. Can you see the flame on the roof? (just a red dot)
Satellite image is not just Google Earth.
