ArcelorMittal Orbit
The ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 114.5-metre sculpture and observation tower in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London. It is Britain's largest piece of public art, and is intended to be a permanent lasting legacy of London's hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, assisting in the post-Olympics regeneration of the Stratford area.Photo: you only live twice, CC BY-SA 2.0.
