Dorothy and I are very lucky to be here at the London 2012 Olympics!
I’d like to try to share the spirit of the games with some photos. I’ll be posting my best photos from the event here. The newest photos are at the top.
Keep in mind there are lots of photos on this page so it might take a minute or two to load.
I will also be posting them on Facebook, Flickr, and of course Photo.Duncan.co
