  • Cases of Rapier surface-to-air missile equipment stationed on Blackheath, a security measure in readiness for the London 2012 Olympic games. The Rapiers arrived in Blackheath yesterday in a bid to defend London against a "worst-case scenario" 9/11-style attack. As part of a multi-layered defence system installed around the capital during the games in July 2012, the missiles are positioned here and other sites during an exercise named Olympic Guardian, which began earlier this week on the coast and in London's airspace. RAF Air Vice-Marshall Stuart Atha said the missiles were for the "worst-case scenario" of a "very unlikely attack" on the Games and chose Blackheath as one of six "favourite" sites.

  • A tourist crouches on the original 4th century marble starting line at ancient Olympia's athletics track where both ancient Greeks and Romans held their games. Nike was the Goddess of Victory to whom Olympic athletes made offerings and prayers before competition. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet, or 'Stadion,' from which we get the word 'Stadium'. Olympic spectators suffered dehydration due to to extreme heat. The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and at the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now.

  • The Paralympic agito logo hangs between the pillars of the National (Art) Gallery on the north side of Trafalgar Square during the London games which took place between 29 Aug - 9 Sept 2012. The tall pillars act as a backdrop of this famous gallery in central London. The Paralympic symbol consists of three agitos, coloured red, blue and green, the three colours that are most widely represented in national flags around the world. These agitos, coloured red, blue, and green, encircle a single point, on a white field. The agito ("I move" in Latin) is a symbol of movement in the shape of an asymmetrical crescent. The Paralympic symbol was created by the Scholz & Friends agency and approved in April 2003.

  • Low-budget east London housing and the 2012 Olympic stadium that dominates the end of a street of a nearby estate. Locals make their way up the road with the enormous arena behind that will hold 80,000. In a few months the world's attention will focus on the sports and personalities of athletes, financed by the UK's already struggling economy. Much has been reported over the legacy of such a mammoth project, the largest of urban parks created in Europe for more than 150 years built during a worldwide recession. Londoners were originally promised free event tickets but communities like this are largely excluded from the games.

  • Two ladies are shopping in a tourist trinket store in the Plaka shopping centre, the largest official Olympic merchandising outlet in downtown Athens. The 29th modern Olympic circus is gearing up for business and official and unofficial souvenirs are on sale here, including postcards and table mats with various works of art available on a rack. We see the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill, Michelangelo's 'Hands of God and Adam' image from the Sistine Chapel. 'Last Supper' by Leonardo da Vinci and a landscape from ancient Olympia, the birthplace of modern athletics and of the Olympic ideal. The Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. Corruption, politics, cheating and commercialism interfered with the ancient and modern games.
