Beacon of Olympic spirit adds to city's history

As part of a recent photography project, I was lucky enough to be invited to work alongside a group of local photographers and capture panoramic night views from the Linglong Pagoda, at the Beijing Olympic Park.

The Linglong Pagoda or Tower, which translates as Delicate Tower, was built as the media center for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and housed international broadcasting studios throughout both the 2008 summer games, and 2022 winter games.

The tower sits roughly in the center of the Olympic Green area and gives sweeping views of the wider cityscape, and it was from this vantage point that we set out to catch a light show that was being projected from the Olympic Tower to the north.
