Queen Elizabeth II Park

January 1974

This black and white photo was taken by me in January 1974 at the then Queen Elizabeth II Park, venue of the Commonwealth Games which were being held then. This was in the days before I was using a more modern colour film camera. It shows the distinctive poles installed for the Games.
