The photos show the Aquatics Centre site taking shape as construction started last week. The Olympic Stadium site now clearly shows the outline of where the Stadium will be as the distinctive lower bowl take shape. Construction started in May on the Stadium, three months early and last month on the Aquatics Centre, two months early.

Both venues will be ready for test events, with construction and initial overlay work complete, by summer 2011.
Earlier this month the ODA set out its next phase of milestones for the project, 'Big Build: Foundations', which include completing the foundations for both venues by next summer. Other milestones include removing the overhead power pylons and starting work on the foundations of the Velodrome and IBC/MPC.
The photos include shots of the Park taken last year, compared to this year to show the scale of change over the past few months.
ODA Chief Executive, David Higgins, said: "These new images clearly show the good rate of progress we are making with work now well underway on both the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre.
"With four years to go this Sunday until the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony we are right on track with preparations."
