Utilities

This fire-engine-red fire hydrant (with a green nut on top) stands out among the drab winter trees and utility lines that line the Interurban bike trail. I noticed it while walking out of town but kept walking. Coming back, I had to stop and grab this image.

 

We take the benefits of living in a urban location for granted. Here, there's a bike trail, power, telephone and cable lines as well as a well cared for street to the left. Underground, there's storm and waste sewers. Without these we'd be far worse off in our lifestyle.

 

A reminder that there's much to be thankful for.
