Want to give a shout out to Canada. The whole Olympics has been awesome and the closing was fun and raucus. Those oversize RCMP are trippy, too.
Thanks to "fastannie" for photo of shaun white.
Thanks for ice skaters, mogul runners, cross-country skiers, long jump skiers, hockey players, slalom skiers, racers racing on skis and on snow boards, luging lugers, aerial skiers, snow boarders on half pipe, and much, much more!
Thank you First Nations, you contribute so, so very much. You are the heart and soul of the land.
Thank you for making a space where an international crowd can compete and remain friends, for the most part--such a wonderful show.

I'm putting all this in the intro, because my image is showing, and i don't want to take a chance that i'll lose it. Sorry it wasn't a Whistler or action photo, but the midnight hour is nigh....
:O) Polar Bears loves Olympics.
Getting a photo for this took me a long time. (Hats off to the photo experts, here!) Am busy but miss you kossacks, you. Hope you got to see the Olympics. :O)
Thanks a gazillion, Canada, "our home and native land." Y'all made us feel welcome. And how about that Neil Young, eh?
