Yeah. Call me crazy. But these urban fixtures betray a surprising amount about their locales and the cultures that produce them.

So: manhole covers. Post 'em it you've got them . . .

I guess we don't care what they were shot with. I like sewer covers, too. Maybe a bit heavy on the saturation.

I'm so glad it's not just me!

I spotted this one years ago in Guildford, a town mostly famous for not being home to Ford Prefect, while waiting for a pedestrian crossing light to change, and I've been eyeing up street ironware ever since.

In 2018 I spotted another, in the grounds of Stowe school, but only had an untested Voigtlander Brillant (non-focusing model!) to hand. In the circumstances, I think I did OK.
