Fire hydrants in Seattle can be quite colorful. Many neighborhoods sport them with bright unusual hues, and some artistic folks sometimes make characters of them. This was the first I'd seen given its own cave in a living fence. Laurel bushes love the climate here and grow sky high in no time, so are popular choices for dense fences and hedges. This one grew wide as well as tall, and this was the homeowner's solution. I'm sure the fire department is appreciative of the vigilance.
Motography Field Trip with the Sackville Photography Club. A great little photo walk through downtown Dartmouth and photographing with my little ol' iPod Touch.
I just love the patina on this old piece of Street Metal. Found off of Harvard Square, on a very cold last day of November 2013. I couldn't get my glove off quick enough.

This manhole is actually a cover for a "hydrant" of sorts. Apparently they firemen have a tap under the cover, which takes a lot less real estate than an American hydrant. I noticed one near my home with no parking written all about it. Quite a shame if the firemen couldn't save you because you parked over the hydrant.
In the middle of some land nearby my house is this fire hydrant. Not a building for several hundreds of feet.
These quintessentially American elements of street furniture, always fascinating to visitors from abroad, are located on Nassau Street, in Lower Manhattan. I photographed them on January 8, 2013, on the first day of my ten-day trip to the US to campaign for the closure of the prison at Guantánamo Bay on the 11th anniversary of its opening.

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.
