Water Hole Cover

This one caught my attention. The combination of metal, concrete, pink and white writing and most important of all, the blue dot, compelled me to take this street-level photograph.  

Colored Mini Manhole Covers

I love manhole covers in general. The bigger ones are hard to photograph without getting one’s feet in the frame. I was delighted to find these the other day. They are smaller, water valve covers I think, but they were in the middle of the street so I think they qualify as mini manhole covers.

Granularity

Below is an anonymous man hole cover, surrounded by interesting textures, shadows and lines. Perhaps my fascination with high-contrast, coarsely-grained comes from my nearsightedness. Before I got glasses, I could not get enough time with my toy binoculars. I would look everywhere and focused sharply on everything.
