Four months post fractured left tibia/fibula from being crashed into by a minivan has allowed me lots of down time to work on this current blog. It’s best viewed on a larger screen vs. a phone to appreciate the details that are in the carefully composed photographs.
Manhole covers or: Access covers, Maintenance hole covers, Utility covers, Inspection covers, Service covers, Access plates; smaller lids are Hand hole covers… Check out the surrounding pavement or pavers. They are sometimes haphazard & sometimes cool looking.
To be walked on, driven over, admired, used to access, rarely cared for, often stolen, just part of the landscape, just there, art installations, worked around during construction, silent observers of events around them. Most commonly they are round (so they won’t fall in) but I did see elliptical one. The covers can also be square or rectangular. Their design sometimes gives a clue as to what is covered & accessible.
