Okay, it's just a photo of a fire hydrant. But it's a bit more than that to me. I got a new 135mm f/2 lens, and this is what it can do. The background blur is excellent, and the sharpness is amazing. If you view the largest size you'll know what I mean.
I know that good gear doesn't necessarily make anyone a better photographer. But having good gear can make a difference if it is used correctly.
Apparently, fire hydrants need exercise too. This one immediately ran rust when opened. Jamestown can never be too careful with recent fire having a fire nearly reach the town from the north. I think a major clean up around town would be a plan too. I have already taken several shots of old Jamestown, Colorado, a century -old mining camp in the Boulder County Rockies. This is south above James Creek. Let's hope it doesn't tip over and get you a dunking. I have been busy traveling to new photo venues like Buttonrock Dam and Jamestown, Boulder County walking different paths and carrying the big camera and saw this pastoral view. I was in no particular hurry and I noticed this below the regular path to the tennis courts. This was in the "Elysian Park" at Jamestown, Colorado. James Creek has a big spot in my heart. Probably for my fly fishing "up the creek and for the evenings I have spent at the Merc." I think that because the flat spot to the right is mill tailings, I would put trout back, below here on the river. I will probably sit for a time when I get to the bench. I can honestly say that the Colorado Lottery has done SOME good work although voters had to bring lawmakers back to the true lottery path for parks and rec. once before. It at least got the bench painted orange. I'll bet the Wall Street money analysts would love to get their hands on that fund but have ever paused here, even the Wall Street 1%ers who ought to be in prison. The path lead me to this venue on a day when t-storms were slowly building. This spot is just down stream from the town "center" and is generally has much water as it ever has. Jamestown was an early mountain town started just after the gold rush. I wanted to look for possible scenes I have yet to discover. I opted for this scene under the building overcast. I hoped the sky would present possibilities later. I knew I'd have some work to try to contain the range so I extracted three layers. I wandered up the creek and took some detail shots that were available,
I wonder when I will run out of opportunities at the Golden Ponds so I am widening my scope. I did go back today. I will keep looking from time to time although I have more destinations in mind. I got stuck cleaning up an Eddie-mess this weekend. Well, because I knew how!
I absolutely love this hydrant that protects Stevenskerk in Nijmegen, Netherlands! It's old, phallic, and photogenic.
A Holga lens that I altered to accommodate a Canon 6D full frame camera was used.
They set up this plumbing system that went over the sidewalk and then a block down the street to a fire. All professional-like.
This fire hydrant sports a bandaid. Did it have an ouchie? Not as serious an injury as this hydrant suffered.
This fire hydrant was the location of a straddle hold. This gymnast is a star in and out of the gymnastics arena.

A fire hydrant (also known colloquially as a fire plug in the United States or as a johnny pump in New York City, because the firemen of the late 19th century were called Johnnies), is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire. Buildings near a hydrant may qualify for an insurance discount since firefighters should be able to more rapidly extinguish a fire on the insured property.

Une bouche d'incendie en plein champ lors de ma marche au très petit matin.
Very early in the morning during my walk before breakfast.
This hydrant, close to the former Stuart Crystal factory at Wordsley, was made by Stanton at a factory near Ilkeston in Derbyshire. In 1985 the firm was taken over by Saint Gobain, an industrial group based in Paris, which has been in operation, in one form or another, since 1665.
