In Trafalgar Square, central London, an official clock was installed, which counts down the time to the Games start, froma starting point of 500 days.
Since the clock has been there, it has almost become a tourist attraction. People come and sit by it, pose by it, and have their photo taken by it.
The clock is just nearby the Fourth Plinth in northwest corner of Trafalgar Square, which was empty for many years but now shows artworks. Currently on show is "Nelson's Ship in a Bottle", and you can read my posting on it here. Other previous posts on the Fourth Plinth are here and here and here - one and other. The artwork is due to change in 2012 and again in 2013, so I plan to be back and photograph what goes up then.
In the meantime, I wonder what will happen the Olympic Clock next December 31st ? The Square usually attracts 50,000 revellers at midnight to welcome in the new year.
