Out of Time: The Olympic Clock is Dismantled

A symbol of the build up to the Olympics, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Clock was unveiled on February 12, 2007 outside the Vancouver Art Galley and was a popular destination for locals and visitors during the countdown to the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. On October 13, 2010, after 1,340 days, the clock was dismantled - its two sides, one symbolizing the Olympics and the other the Paralympics to be split up and rebuilt at BC Place and the Whistler Olympic Park respectively. Who knows... one day maybe the two faces of the clock will once again be reunited in an Olympics themed museum to honour the best Olympic games held on Canadian soil!

On October 13, 2010 Vancouver bid farewell to its iconic 2010 Olympic Clock as it was dismantled and its two sides split into two - the Olympic side to be sent to BC Place and the Paralympic side to be reassembled in Whistler's Olympic Park. Here are some photos from throughout the day as the Olympic Clock outside the Vancouver Art Gallery was dismantled.

Hopefully one day the Olympic Clock will be put back together!
