The fire hydrants where my Grammy lives are all painted this bright green color...not sure if they got a deal on it or what. I think they look neat, but Grammy doesn't like how wild they are. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday.

I found this nifty-looking fire hydrant at the Experimental Farm. I was taken also by the McAvity name which used to be on many Ottawa plumbing fixtures.

The McAvity name remains well known today, with products still in service that were first installed in the early 1900s. McAvity's long-standing reputation makes McAvity fire hydrants and valves the choice of many municipalities today. The McAvity name is instilled in the minds of the people of Saint John. McAvity & Sons Company played a large role in the city's development from the early 1800s and will always be an important part of Saint John's history.

Here you can see the graffiti that didn't show up in the first frame.

Some dufus hit a fire hydrant on the street below me yesterday afternoon. I think the water shot up at least 50 feet high.

One of the very few old school fire hydrants left standing right in front of 104 year old Victoria Concert Theatre Singapore

Plymouth, Devon, England

This hydrant sign is buried in the bushes, doubtless they need regular clipping to keep the sign visible.

The top number on the plate indicates the water main's diameter in millimetres; the bottom number shows the distance to the hydrant in metres.

Older signs use inches and feet.

Featured on www.weeklyfifty.com on April 24, 2013. Something about this fire hydrant was interesting to me.

Fire hydrant H2858 stands watch in a park. (488a)

This is an old Eclipse Hydrant manufactured by the Kupferle Foundry Company of St. Louis, Missouri. The Kupferle Foundry Company was started in 1857 by John C. Kupferle. The Foundry was known for manufacturing all sorts of items from shoe lasts, saw clamps, counter stools, well wheels, laundry irons, to saloon door hinges. About thirty years after Kupferle opened their doors they started manufacturing water hydrants. The first water products that were manufactured are still being manufactured today such as the Eclipse Hydrant #1, #2, #7 and the #36 Street Washer.

This pole attached with fire hydrant is purpose for locate during snow height.

kz-gedenkstätte husum-schwesing :

Husum-Schwesing war eines von 87 Außenkommandos des 1938 gegründeten Konzentrationslagers Neuengamme. Es bestand nur drei Monate lang. Am 26. September 1944 trafen 1500 Häftlinge aus Neuengamme ein, am 19. Oktober folgten weitere 1000 Gefangene.

1983 veröffentlichte die KZ-Arbeitsgruppe Husum-Schwesing die Geschichte des Lagers und veranstaltete am 30. Januar 1983 eine von rund tausend Menschen besuchte Gedenkveranstaltung in Husum, bei der ehemalige Häftlinge von ihrem Leiden im Lager berichteten. 1985 konnte der Kreis Nordfriesland die östliche Hälfte des ehemaligen Lagergeländes und 1994 weitere Teile des Geländes, auf dem sich auch die Fundamentreste und der Hydrant befinden, kaufen. Schon im November 1987 konnte auf dem Lagergelände eine von dem Bildhauer Ulrich Lindow gestaltete Gedenkstätte eingeweiht werden. Seit 1995 steht das Lagergelände unter Denkmalschutz. Eine mehrsprachige Informationstafel mit Hinweisen zur Geschichte und zum Geschehen im Lager wurde 1998 neben dem Parkplatz aufgestellt. Seit 2001/2002 erinnern 300 Stelen an die getöteten Lagerinsassen. Die Stelen symbolisieren gebückt stehende Menschen in demütiger Haltung und erinnern in ihrer verstreuten Verteilung an die willkürliche Gewalt gegenüber den Häftlingen. Sie sind aus einem Stahl, der schnell Rost ansetzt, sodass die Namen der Verstorbenen schwer zu entziffern sind – als Hinweis darauf, dass die Erinnerung an die Zeit und die Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus nur mühsam aufrecht zu erhalten ist.

Saw this on my way to work this morning.

Hydrant in Keswick, Ontario, Canada.

This is one of the photos I took in South Brunswick's park. I was captured by the place of the fire hydrant which is located by park lot lines. For this photo, I decided to get low with a semi-wide angle shot. I wanted to make the fire hydrant look big and important in this photo.

The original photo had the sky washed out. I added the sky blend mode - linear burn with a mask to get the sky to fit prefect behind the trees. Fyi: for masking, sometime used the color gray or reduce the brush opacity.
