An early morning

Up at 0445 to join the queue in the rain at St John's to get a good place by the river in the rain to watch the Olympic Flame go past on a punt in the rain. There were a splendid selection of Cambridge faces with umbrellas:





That's the aftermath of a torch-kiss as the other guy failed to get his torch to stay alight, hence the lovely sheepish look on the left-hand torchbearer.

Wow, how did they get all those geese in a row?

Love how the flame in the torch looks like it might be one of those sports icons/logograms. A little figure of flame about to burst away from the torch and start a run of its own.
