Night photograph taken from below looking up at a tall, slender copper-coloured pole with ringed bands, topped by a small dark-red and gold fitting with a tuft of pale fibres and a red cloth. A long white cord or flag line runs diagonally from the top down to the bottom right edge against a black sky with scattered blurred light spots. No people are visible. The pole appears to be a flagstaff used for hoisting a ceremonial flag. A small logo appears at top left and a copyright line sits at bottom right.
