John and Doves,I must admit that I looked at that time (11:14am?) and couldn't find anything significant myself but that doesn't mean much! Ha!However, I see tonight when the athletics has commemced in the Stadium that the "cauldron" is in there on the side of the track.(Maybe to warm up the athletes in the British summer weather!)Anyway, it may be that those copper petals are actually thorns - rose thorns. See pic #26 here -Also, there were and are 204 of them and tomorrow, Aug 4th is Obama's 51st birthday.204 = 51 x 4.So, is this a burning thorn bush (rose bush?) that does not get consumed? And will a voice appear to speak out of it at the closingceremony? Mmmm.Each of the countries competing will be given a petal (thorn?) to take home after the Games.Also, the 153 big fish in the net = 51 x 3.Others have also said that it is the Queen Mother's birthday too (1900) and that Prince William was baptised on this day in 1982when Obama was 21 (7+7+7).And, to bore you all again, it is the centre day of the Olympics with 8 days either side.Keep looking up,Phil.
