Close to where I-88 and winfield cross in Warrenville, there are a number of fire hydrants sporting this... whatever it is. At first (as it was before halloween) I though perhaps this is the equivalent of a ghost costume for a fire hydrant. Now it is long past Halloween and they are still there. I called the fire department - then the city, and the county. No one seemed to know what is going on. So - I'll put forth the following totally made up story... These fire hydrants sporting these red "bed sheet" costumes are hiding their fragile egos as they spew hate and advocate violence against non-red fire hydrants. You'd think in 2016 we would have moved beyond this - but evidently we haven't.
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.
found some kids playing with an opened fire hydrant - this one was using a tin can to direct the spray at cars and people across the street

This is my first attempt at HDR that I thought turned out half way decent - I never even saved previous efforts. I used the free version of Photomatix which leaves watermarks on the final image. I removed all three in Photoshop...can you guess where they were?
This fire hydrant isn't close to any buildings...I guess it's there for future construction.
This is my entry for Picture That week 3 theme "Grass is greener..."
Grass is greener... with HDR and lots of water from a fire hydrant.
During a map check stop on a trike ride I was intrigued by the lonely appearance of this fire hydrant. This is in the Maricopa Meadows housing area of Maricopa.
