MANHOLE COVER LOVERS

Information

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.

Post photos of any interesting ones you find here.

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on July 6, 2024 at 6:05pm: (Sorry for the almost upside-down posting, don’t know why they are not upside up like they are in my files)

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on July 6, 2024 at 6:03pm: And I found an other, similar, interesting manhole cover. However, I was not able to take a picture of the upper side of the manhole cover. Because two friendly men were patiently investigating the manhole!
