I see some construction sites and some garbage on city streets and... unfinished buildings...! Are you trying to tell me they aren't going to clean up the entire city before the Olympics hit? They are still working on things with two weeks before the opening ceremonies? How dare they...

Its interesting to see these photos. Social media / media is blowing this thing up like its a warzone out there, but really it doesn't look too bad at all.

The pictures were taken from a military helicopter (like the rescue helicopters featured in one of the resort pics), so I'm assuming it's Russian media of some sort taking the pictures. The aerial views definitely make things look really nice, but keep in mind that a lot of the Olympic buildings/venues will be very nice, but a lot of the other infrastructure projects/construction sites in the town will be dirty and run-down looking.

@the people asking about snow

Look at the resort pics. Some of the pictures on the next page in that thread show a 22ft pipe going up at one of the resorts and what could be a slopestyle or mogul run (no course was on it, just flat, obviously).

The town itself rarely gets snow. The resorts have plenty of snow.

This is my internal battle right now. But these pictures are on a pretty grand scale. You'd think if they were trying to convince us it would just be closeup pictures of the interior of the one or two pretty buildings. But the huge ass aerial photos don't look half bad.
