These are some amazing pictures of Heliopolis in the early 30s.
I totally spaced out last weekend and totally forgot about the opening ceremony and only managed to catch the lighting of the cauldron. Looking at the pictures I feel so sad that I missed it. Growing up watching the ceremony was a big thing. I am waiting for a good version to download so I can still watch, and that is the beauty of the internet, that you can find almost anything you are looking for. Looking at the pictures makes me really annoyed that I forgot. So here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
