★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took this night exposure about 20 years ago with a 35mm. The statue, Harry Jerome, was a Canadian Olympian and gold medalist who ran about 91.44 metres (100 yards) in 9.3 seconds.
Nowadays, it’s 100m for the run. I never knew he was black until I looked him up. He was born in Saskatchewan and sadly died at age 42 due to a brain aneurysm. He won 4 medals for Canada.
