Windsor Castles celebrates Olympic Rowing Success
Windsor Castle spectacularly illuminated with images of past and present rowers to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic Rowing competition at Eton Dorney. The stunning image projection will run over four nights from Wednesday 1 to Saturday 4 August.
Windsor Castle - the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world will provide a backdrop for the spectacular projection which will show images of the energy, determination, exaltation and exhaustion of past and present rowers who have pushed themselves for the ultimate achievement.
The image projections - which will run on each of the four evenings between 9.45 and 11.59pm, were launched at a special event this evening. The projections provide one element of a wider `look and feel¿ programme for Eton Dorney and communities throughout the area.

U.S. Navy 'swim calls' - 2016
When you're job is sailing the seas, the World is your swimming pool.
These amazing pictures show sailors and marines from the U.S. Navy taking part in what they call 'swim calls'.
Most recently pictured earlier this month (Feb) are those cooling off by jumping from into the Indian Ocean from guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam.
With the ship anchored, Swim Calls are seen as a refreshing break from the job of keeping high-tech battleships running.
The activity often occurs in warm foreign waters, such as the Mediterranean, Arabian and South China seas, the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Suffice to say, there will be people tasked with shark watch, from the ship and rigid-hulled inflatable boats.
Swimmers are able to clamber back onto the ship via landing docks or by climbing cargo nets.
