    Before going back to germany, I took some pictures of the unfinished National Stadium, the main Stadium for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

      Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Bird's Nest, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

      Hi!

      I really like your photo! I currently work on a scientific essay that deals with the Beijing Olympics, written from my viewpoint as an art historian. I am on the look-out for good photographic material to go with the text, and I wonder whether I can use this photo? With your permission of course. I`m afraid I can`t offer you any payment, but I will credit you in the essay, which is going to be published in a Norwegian magazine called Replikk. In addition, an English version will be sent to the organizers of the 2008 Beijing International Art Biennale.

      Hope to hear from you soon. My e-mail is:

      thanks, even! I think there is no problem that you use it for a scientific essay.

      BTW, I'm going back to Beijing very soon and will stay for 3 weeks, definitely I'm gonna take more photos. Maybe you could wait for a more up-to-date one :)
