A Walk in the Olympic Park
Stratford, London. Mon 31 Oct 2016
The Olympic Swimming Pool
is beside the Waterworks River. Mid-afternoon on a weekday and the walkway is empty
There are just a handful of people at the upper level. But a few tubs doesn't make it look like a park
I go down to the lower level again, and walk north beside the Waterworks River
There are more some trees on the other side of the river, and large swans here
From the next bridge there is not a person in view (there were a few workmen out of picture at right)
Across the river it begins to look more like a park but is still almost deserted
Road and rail bridges cross the Old River Lea
From where Carpenters Lock used to be is a good view of the stadium
though the sun just to the right of the frame makes it hard to photograph
Carpenters Lock was supposed to be replaced, but so far this hasn't happened
The 'Seb Coe' bridge is back, though without the graffiti which gave it its name
