Thanks Heleen, Carien and Katerina -- your Manhole Covers do help to kick-start the Group.

Yes, send photos, and only photos, unless you can afford the postage on a lot of heavy metal (and a possible fine for stealing a Cover, and damages to people who fell in the uncoverd hole).

(Dean, aka Artist in Seine, now this could present a real challenge for you!)

Hi Val, good to see this group at IUOMA!

I assume you want us to post PHOTOS :-)

Here is one that was placed in 1982:

...Val does not want us to "send" the real street metal, ha!

Do NOT remove manhole covers, ever...

we had a series of "thefts" here in Greece,

by those thinking they can get money for "recycling metal", 

they got arrested.

Thank you for your invitation, Val! Despite of the fact that manhole covers (putdeksels in Dutch) are hard to send via mail (and probably will cause the sender a large amount of people who fell into the hole and want/threat to prosecute the mail artist) I think this a matching theme here at IUOMA. I noticed that several mail artists are fascinated by manholes, and also I love to see photos of ‘putdeksels’ from all-over the world. (And of course we can send newly made manholecoverdesigns to each other).

Welcome to this new Group, MANHOLE COVER LOVERS.

It's part of my ongoing 'Urban Landscape Project' in which I take photos of what are usually neglected or ignored parts of my immediate environment, such as doors, shutters, lampposts, street lights, and, of course, mail-boxes -- all part of the great 'open-air metropolitan art gallery'.

Post photos of any interesting Manhole Covers  -- round, square or rectangular; small or large; old or new -- that you come across.

Here are some examples:

From Katerina in Thessaloniki:

From Jane Adams in Terrigal, NSW, Australia

From Erni Bar in Hamburg

And two from me from Sigean, France
