To people outside Ireland it may appear odd that people are protesting against the introduction of water charges but unlike other countries people in Ireland know that paying for a service does not in any way imply that they will in fact get the service that they are paying for.

The Thomson Meter Company factory building was built in 1908-09 to the design of Louis E. Jallade, with the Hennebique Construction Company as general contractor.
Reinforced concrete was employed in its construction, with the columns and walls poured at the same time. Spandrels were filled with tapestry brickwork, while the structure was terminated by radiant polychrome terra cotta above arched winows.
Scottish-born inventor John Thomson founded the Thomson Meter Company c. 1890 in Brooklyn to manufacture his patented water meters. The success of the firm led to the construction of this four-story (plus basement) factory. Sold in 1927 to the New York Eskimo Pie Corp, this building was used for the manufacture of Eskimo Pie products and as a milk-bottling distribution plant until 1966. The building is currently used for commercial and industrial uses
The Thomson Meter Company Building was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on February 10, 2004 (Designation List 350)

A nice subject for checking the close focus of the lens, and accuracy of the rangefinder (looking straight down at my feet). This was cropped quite a bit to eliminate excess concrete, and that pesky flare/light leak.

in an everlasting developing country such as the philippines one must take precautions in looking after ones security. unless one is living in a secured village it is important that everything must be properly secured and that includes the humble water meter. in most cities you will notice that water meters are enclosed in a cage to prevent thieves from stealing them. water meters are made of brass and brass commands a good price from junk shops. so, unless you want to go through the trouble of reapplying for a new meter it is best to cage your meter

These water meter covers are scattered all over the sidewalks of New Orleans and are one of the iconic symbols of that great and vibrant city. This one is in Jackson Square. How I wish I were in my favourite city again!
Today, nothing fancy... These are water meters. I found them right in front my apartment's door. It looks very interesting but, somehow with the lighting available, it looks a little flat, that's why I popped my 2 speedlites, put blue gels on both of them and took some frames. This particular frame is the one I like best.

From the car window a question-shout
“Does he have enough water to drink?”
My new friend affirms, “Yeah, there’s…”
From the car window bills are offered
“Oh, anything helps brother, anything...”
We watch, Samuel and I, from ten feet away
“He is fascinated by water meters” I hear
myself say, feebly, from someplace deep
in my belly between courage and shame
“That’s a skutgafdasniecsd meter,” he explains
I lose the word his expertise offered
Before the drive home to write
This poem. Flittered into and out of
My mind as I made a request that
Embarrassed delighted perplexed –
“May we take your photo, please?”

He spoke to the ground, “I’m no good
With pictures…” and as I said my,
“ok, that’s ok tumbled over his “pictures”
and Samuel brought our conditional
too small anyway addition to his coffer
He allowed us.
To take it.
His picture.
I didn’t predict
When I set out today
To have my head turned by
An intriguing water meter
Zap think “Photo Op!”
To have my gut turned.
By his picture.
Not much time today... school all day. Had Ryan shoot this for me before we went and hung out with some massage friends for a bit. I've always wanted to shoot at these water meters for our apartment. Couldn't really think of anything creative to do on them though...

The "New Orleans Water Meter" is a water meter box cover commonly seen throughout the streets of New Orleans. It is a distinctive symbol of New Orleans. If you don't see them everywhere you go then you're not in New Orleans.
There are several different water meter covers in New Orleans. One of them is made by the Ford Meter Box Company of Wabash, Ind. Another is the creation of M.W. Clark of Mattoon, Ill.
The New Orleans meter box cover " the Crescent Box that is so coveted (above)" was designed by Edwin Ford in the early 1920s after a visit to New Orleans. New Orleans is one of Ford Meter Box's oldest utility customers, and in 1924, nearly half the company's sales were to the City of New Orleans. There was a time, however, when officials decided to replace the decorative covers in the Central Business DIstrict (CBD) with plain ones to see if it would stop thieves from pilfering them.
The coveted water meter cover with the crescent moon and stars, has been reproduced on wall plaques, earrings, coasters, cufflinks, and T-shirts.
