The stadium island now clearly shows the outline of where the main stadium will be and as the distinctive lower bowl take shape.

The London 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has released new aerial photos of the venues in the Olympic Park to mark "Four Years to Go" until the opening ceremony on 27 July 2008.

The photos show the Zaha Hadid-designed Aquatics Centre site taking shape as construction started last week.

The stadium island now clearly shows the outline of where the main stadium will be.

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.

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.
