Travelling in time: Opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games since 1908 until 2012

in #photography8 years ago

Starting to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games Rio 2016, I bring you a picture gallery of some moments of past Olympic openings. From the competition that took place in the city of London to the newest in the city four years ago.

Should be noted that the capital of England holds the record for hosting that more organised this event, with three Olympic Games under his belt in the years 1908, 1948 and 2012. This list follows the city of Los Angeles, hosting this high performance competition the years 1932 and 1984. I hope to enjoy of this collection photo:
