The levitating cauldron is such a popular attraction |

that it may be permanently installed in Paris.[/quote] |
|
There's beautiful photography in this piece, too. |
|
The balloon cauldron is probably my favorite 'landmark' of these |

Olympics. |

Did you know that art used to be part of Olympic medal |
|
competition? |
|
I didn't until recently. |
|
[quote]For 38 years beginning in 1912, gold, silver, and bronze |
|
medals were up for grabs |
|
in Olympic art competitions across five categories: |
|
architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture. |
|
This set of awards was named the �Pentathlon of the Muses,� |
|
its winners decided by an international jury.[/quote] |
|
I love the poster from the 1912 games in Stockholm. |

I have an almost phobic fear of flame and gas. The idea of a |
|
floating gas fired caldron gave me the willies even from an |
|
ocean away. I don�t like hot air balloons. I was quite relieved |
|
to find out it was lights and mist. Genius. And beautiful. |

So far this is the most boring closing ceremony we�ve ever seen. |
|
We�ve both fallen asleep. I recorded it so if I want, I can see |
|
what I missed. |
|
|
|
Or play it when I have insomnia. |

I had a love/hate relationship with the Olympics this summer. I |
|
hated that I could only watch some of the events live on the |
|
weekends. But it's Paris. I mostly loved. Most of the events |
|
were so exciting. I'm not sure about Break Dancing. |
