In the middle of some land nearby my house is this fire hydrant. Not a building for several hundreds of feet.
habe da bei Anke schon bemalte Trafohäuschen und Garagentore gesehen. Hier mal ein Hydrant....weitere sollen folgen. Wünsch euch allen ein nettes und gut gelauntes Wochenende :-)
On my walk this morning, I took some pictures of fire hydrants. Then I created this mosaic with fd's Flickr Toys.
There was some fire dept. activity on Broadway. This is the hydrant that was apparently not turned off all the way.
A hydrant is an outlet from a fluid main often consisting of an upright pipe with a valve attached from which fluid (e.g. water or fuel) can be tapped. Depending on the fluid involved, the term may refer to:
▪ Fire hydrant
▪ Oil depot
▪ Yard hydrant
▪ Flushing hydrant
▪ Wall hydrant
▪ Pillar hydrant
This hydrant caught my eye this afternoon, especially since I had been on the lookout for interesting subjects for the Utata Gets in Shape project.
Fire hydrant No 79 standin' on the corner by the no-parking sign
You're the only friend I got
You work for the city in the rain and in the fog
Gettin' no respect from the neighborhood dogs
And when I sing you're the only thing that listens to me

Is it just me, or are most fire hydrants red? That is, most fire hydrants on television are. I stumbled upon an orange one. Maybe because it's in the City of Orange, in Orange County? Who knows; it popped out at me and poked me in the eye (not really, but you don't come across many orange fire hydrants, so I felt compelled to take a photo of it).
Bold colours and simplicity, with a peeling orange and red fire hydrant close-up, set against a brilliant blue painted wall. Hard, functional fittings against eye-catching solid colour.
