Beijing's Nest is Best...Simple Stunning

Okay, we're impressed...it looks even better from the inside.

As a wee child my favorite book was "My Nest is Best," one of those lesser known Dr. Seuss tales. Well, my nest is no longer best. Last night I had a chance to head out to the Birds Nest and catch some of the competition but, more importantly, see the venue up close (although I will take a second, more in-depth look today). Yowza...it definitely looks great in photos and on TV but it is stunning in person. First, the thing is flipping HUGE. But second, look at this photo. As you pass through the nest the different layers become apparent and the stadium as a complexity and depth in design you won't find anywhere.
So the folks in London, once again, have their work cut out for them. But one area they can surpass the Birds nest? Install one of those massive bazillion dollar (err, pound) and super-huge scoreboards.
