Beautiful.
I saw the opening ceremony on TV and it was amazing! Great pictures!
Absolutely amazing, I watched them on TV and have since watched the ceremony two more times (with friends and family) on the NBC website. I am still in awe over the whole thing. The shear numbers, the costumes, the effects, just everything, WOW!
Good luck to London trying to top this in four years.
