Portland: Olympic Rings and Chesil Beach view
This famous, spectacular view along Chesil Beach has been embellished by the Olympic rings after Portland and Weymouth hosted the sailing events of the 2012 Games. The sculpture gleams resplendently in the unforecast sunshine this weekend - much better than when I saw them in November: SY6873 : Portland: Olympic Rings
