 ( ) ( ) ( )opening ceremony of Olympics( ) ( ) ( )
 Fireworks explode from the stadium roof during the opening Ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympics at the National Stadium in Beijing, on Friday.  Firecrackers rippled around the rim of the arena, strobe lights flickered and the forest of drumsticks turned a luminous red, flashing bright in the hazy, humid air.  The Olympic rings are pictured during the opening ceremony in Beijing.  Drummers perform during the opening ceremony.  Terracotta soldiers were portrayed returning in triumph in a traditional scene from Chinese opera.  Traditional landscape paintings were projected on to a huge scroll and actors spelt out Chinese characters with their twisting bodies commemorating papermaking, one of China's great inventions.  One thousand dancers covered in sparkling lights weaved intricate patterns across the arena and transformed themselves into a fluorescent Bird's Nest as a little girl flew with her kite high above.  The show was delivered with cinematic panache and a cast of 14,000 by "House of Flying Daggers" director Zhang Yimou, whose work was once banned in China  A 16-tonne crystal-blue globe came out of nowhere and rose from the floor to gasps of astonishment from the 91,000 spectators on a hot and humid night.

 Twenty-nine colossal "footprints of fire" shot into the sky and "marched" through the city to Tiananmen Square in a dazzling, rolling display of pyrotechnics. It was like a giant army of lights stamping across the heavens.  In the land that invented gunpowder, fireworks exploded around the arena and then erupted across the heart of Beijing. |
