MANHOLE COVER LOVERS

There must be billions of them in the world. We pass them every day. We walk on them. We do not take any notice of them. They are heavy, and usually made of cast iron. They come in many different shapes, sizes and patterns. Look, and you will find them everywhere.

What are they? MANHOLE COVERS, that provide access to local service systems such as water, electricity, gas, and telecommunications.

Post photos of any interesting ones you find here.

Thanks once again, Raphael. I reckon you have sent me 80 manhole covers so far -- keep on going!

I was surprised to see the last one from Warsaw was a Veolia manhole cover. I have spent a lot of time in the last six months fighting with  Veolia France. Who's winning? It's hard to say -- I haven't paid the ridiculous invoice they have sent me, and they haven't cut off my water.
