I had a lovely time taking photos of various municipal man hole covers, although the one second along is actually a drain cover, John kept finding them for me, the first two are French and the last 3 are German.Dont you like the cobbles around some of them?
I found them fascinating but was disappointed to find that a lot in the UK were square, not round.
I also seem to remember ones with the names of the towns on them from the last time we were in Europe, not so often found now. I think the best I ever saw were in Japan. I must find some of them and re scan them.
Any way they make quite good design resources.
I will be in Adelaide tomorrow so may not post, I will see how tired I am when I get home.
Warming up a bit and then some rain, I hope so.
A crow is calling and a blackbird is singing and the peacocks are tramping on the shed roof. The sounds of evening.
I have been playing with my sewing machines, more on my other blog if you want to look here.

great manhole covers Penny and so different each one of them.
What a fun series! I've been thinking of taking some shots of manholes - but everything is dark and wet here just now.
What beautiful patterns and they come from such an unlikely source!
Did people stare at you when you took these photos?

I notice these too - there were some nice ones in Japan (colourful) but I didn't photograph them.
Thanks for your comment on my pics.
