• Olympic Orbit

The Orbit tower by Anish Kapoor dominates the skyline at the Olympic Park.  It’s not perfect – the commercial pressures and health and safety put pay to that (the silver casing and solid greys spoil the essential redness), but it’s wild and fascinating, especially at close quarters.  When it’s free to go up, I’ll go (it’s an exorbitant £15 at the moment), but I suspect that the best views are at ground level!  Here are eleven, taken with my little Canon IXUS.
