Taken on Saturday evening, here's a balloon proudly showing off my city's Olympic City designation. The USA's Olympic Training Center is here, as well as the United States Olympic Committee Headquarters, and a future Olympic Museum.
The balloon takes my breath away. Orange is my favorite color. I watched a show on TV about the Olympics Training Center there. Very impressive. So many hopefuls and only a few are actually picked to represent the U.S.A. in the Olympics. After some were picked everyone gathered around and hugged. Didn't show any jealousy, hate or angry about not being selected. It was an amazing TV show. I too love the Olympics.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I love reading them and look forward to viewing your blog. If you only allow Google+ comments I won't be able to leave a comment in return.
Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.
