The butterfly, a cabbage-white,
(His honest idiocy of flight)
Will never now, it is too late,
Master the art of flying straight.

The BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008- OLYMPIC RING
CHINA which is hosting BEIJING Summer Olympics 2008 gave a very spectacular opening ceremony on August 8, 2008.
I chose some of the photos for posterity purposes.
The Olympic Ring
The emblem of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) on a white field. This was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. These five rings stand for passion, faith, victory, work ethic and sportsmanship.
It also represented the five continents. It debuted in AntwErp in 1914.

BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008- THE OLYMPIC TORCH
OLYMPIC TORCH
The Olympic Flame or Olympic Torch is a symbol of the Olympic Games.[1] Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, when a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics.
