20/12 Olympic Park photos
In the Euro style, Tuesday was 20/12 — that is, Dec. 20th.
The London 2012 organizing committee, which goes by the acronym LOCOG, early Wednesday released a series of photos showing progress at Olympic Park, on the city’s east side.
Here are those that show what the park looks like, and keep in mind that the Summer Games are due to begin July 27. London 2012 is not Athens 2004. This project will be ready.

Olympic Stadium and the warm-up track
The aquatics center – probably the iconic structure of the 2012 Games
The International Broadcast Center with the blue field hockey pitches in the foreground
Now looking south instead of west, those are the same hockey pitches — and that's parkland that by design runs through, well, Olympic Park
The water polo arena
The handball arena
