Ready for the Games?

Finally got around to taking a few photos of Sports City yesterday. Things are looking ready but your guess is as good as ours. The occasional crane appears and then disappears which possibly means they thought everything was done and then remembered there was something more. There has been a helicopter flying around constantly, which is probably a security measure as today is the day they have the full dress rehearsal for the ceremonies. Metal detectors are in place and you can't even get close to the place anymore without clearance.

Sports City Road... across from the entrance to the compound looking up to the main games venue.
Al Waab Street... the entrance to Sports City and those weird "fishing-rod" lights! The tents house the metal detectors and secured entrance.

Khalifa Stadium... the odd crane still in action, but 6 days out from the opening ceremony! The calm before the storm...
