02/03/2012 An odd place for a fire hydrant, on a grassy slope overlooking the Belt Parkway. Kodak ColorPlus 200. Minolta SR-T 101. Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm 1:1.7.
Found this old 5 1/4" hydrant alongside a frontage road between some abandoned manufacturing facilities and the main CSX RR tracks that bisect my hometown. Has 1948 stamped above the nozzle openings of which the caps have been long lost to vandals or ne'erdowells.
Jenins is a small village in Swiss.
Each hydrant has its own character like this photo.
It's a pity I just took a picture of him. I shoud have
taken other photos of his friends or family. (^^

This hydrant represents the British Red Coats who manned Fort Malden during the War of 1812.
Looks like Snoopy.

In the early 1920s, Jones worked with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power to custom design the service brass which later became a standard part of the Jones product line. During both World War I and World War II, Jones supplied water, gas and steam valves for the Navy’s battleships and destroyers. In 1926, Jones built it’s first bronze fire hydrant at the request of the Fire Chief of Monrovia, California.
Although Jones was not the first company to market a wet barrel hydrant, it was the first to cast a wet barrel hydrant in bronze. Jones turned the use of bronze into a marketing advantage, selling the product based upon the long term benefits of bronze over iron. For example, the City of Beverly Hills replaced one of the first Jones hydrants (believed to have been installed in 1926) after over 60 years of service.
The Jones bronze wet barrel hydrant remains the preferred fire hydrant in most parts of California.
An interesting fire hydrant sign in Blackawton that must represent a transition phase between its cast iron predecessors with numbers that 'slot into' the sign template and the modern version with 'stick on' vinyl numbers. The base sign is made of sheet metal with the large H painted on the plate and the whole assembly mounted in a concrete post. Also of interest is the distance to the pipe connection in the road which is 1.2 meters. This sign's location can be seen in my post at www.flickr.com/photos/61719529@N07/8537615147/in/photostream along with the location of the yellow-painted cover in the roadway.
#Fire #hydrant next to a #Tremont hair salon and barber shop. When's the last time you saw an #Easy #Rider helmet? Or, 1950s #MOON Speed Equipment logo eyes? Someone stopped a car and stole the helmet just after I took the photo. Was too far from the car to capture the license plate with a super wide-angle lens • Tremont area, just south of downtown #Cleveland, Ohio USA • Nikon D70
A street fire hydrant basks in the evening sunset near Thomas Circle in Washington DC. Green capped fire hydrants like this one have a flow rate of 1000-1499 gallons of water per minute according to the NFPA, which puts them as having the second highest flow rate possible for city fire hydrants.

I was outside at work holding the Pucky I below my waist framing up this shot when a co-woker drove by. She stopped her vehicle to let me know that it appeared I was about to micturate on the hydrant. Here's the funny thing... I did have to go and it had crossed my mind. Go figure.

the best thing about being a guy is that when you're in the woods, it's really easy to find a bathroom.
This Hydrant sign caught my eye the other day whilst out.

It's not too often that a person stumbles upon a fire hose hooked up to a hydrant, but yesterday, that happened to me. I was almost giddy as I looked at the hose folded up in interesting rows with the nozzle carefully placed on top. I like to think that the local fire department knew I was coming and had this ready for me to shoot.
