These enormous Olympic Rings are located at the entrance of a recycling centre in the inner west suburb of St Peters, just off Princes Highway. During the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, these types of rings were illuminated and displayed around the city at various live sites. This monochrome set was salvaged and appropriately displayed outside this recycling centre.
Great photo and glad the rings got recycled appropriately ~ thanks, namaste, (A Creative Harbor)

Hi there - we have the large metal fish that were used at the commonwealth games at different points near our house - nice to see them being reused as well!
