Manhole cover.
So I was striding down this local leafy lane on my Permitted Exercise, proving to myself quite successfully that zoomed multiple exposures in burst mode of local leafy lanes don’t work...
And my beady eye espied this curious piece of graphic design in the road. It was full of arrows - surely the most iconic of modern symbols: left, right, up, down, play, exit, this way, result, implication, inference, even - you’re lost really aren’t you?
To be fair I’d spotted this manhole cover many times before but mainly because of its curious behaviour after heavy rains. Then water emerges up and out of the cover and runs down the hill, a feature I think of a land drain blockage further down the hill. It’s been like that for years - presumably nobody has noticed or cared enough to do anything about it. Not that it really matters as the water disappears down the next cover.
High contrast graphic patterns like this are always good to play with I think, so this is for Sliders Sunday.
The effect is created entirely in Nik Color Efex by abusing the sliders in some of the more dramatic effects. The stack I ended up with is:
- Bi-color user Defined, orange bottom right to purple top left. I used this first to create a colour gradient across the image to add interest and variety to the pattern repeat.
- Solarisation. This one caused most of the colour drama. I have to admit that I am getting a little tired of the effects of this filter [Loud cheers are heard offstage...], but it does have a bit of an addictive colour-zap rush about it.
- Monday Morning - produces a dark moody glow, only applied to parts of the image to add to the tonal texture and variation.
- Low Key.
- Pro Contrast.
- Reflector efex.
These last four just toyed with the overall result.
So there we have it.
And, yes. You imagined it not. Your hapless correspondent has indeed sunk to the depths of talking about the local drains. He can descend no further… surely... please...
I’ll post a link to the in-camera original in the first comment so you can... er, well... add to your personal collection of manhole cover pics :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday! :)
The wonderful Grand Prismatic Spring and Midway Geyser Basin are always a favorite place for me on any visit to Yellowstone.

The Upper Geyser Basin (Yellostone National Park) is famous for hosting Old Faithful Geyser. But there is much more in the area than just this famous geyser. The Upper Geyser Basin also boasts the largest concentration of geysers in the world, including many of the worlds largest geysers.

Chromatic Gate (1991; 633 East Cabrillo Blvd.) – Famed artist Herbert Bayer, who spent the last 10 years of his life in Santa Barbara, designed this 21-foot tall multi-colored arch located across from the beach. The piece received a much-needed face-lift in 2013 and is a striking frame to either the mountain or ocean view.

In the end my visit to Berlin, I felt a bit tired from having seen so much in just a few days. But the moment when this hotel appeared in front of me, my senses were instantly re-awakened. After a walk around the building I was just in time to catch the last sunlight casting shadows right into the depth.
The incredibly pretty corridor that leads to the blue room in the UK's most gorgeous manor house.

Initially I was here to capture the gorgeous view of Manarola. It was difficult to pick the best shot of them all so I decided to just create them as one single image. Result: Time-Lapse 20 photographs taken at about 5 minutes apart during the sunset hour.

While I call it chromatic aberration, it is in fact the result of a picture I took during the Olafur Eliasson exhibition at the Tate Modern in London. It’s called uncertain shadow.
A species only recently discovered. Prized for their gleaming golden feathers.
Built for the preliminary round of the Bio-cup 2022.
