We went into Little Italy yesterday and it was packed with a festival on, but we did get a nice lunch New Zeland lamb chops yummy yummy
and caught this shot of a fire hydrant that fitted well with the neighbourhood
"Camera lies all the time. It's all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you... the moment you've made a choice, you're lying about something larger. 'Lying' is an ugly word. I don't mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same." Richard Avedon
Fire hydrants in the area seem to have various stages of leprosy, as successive years of paint crack and disassemble
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Hydro ist griechisch und heisst Wasser. Hydranten sind demnach eine Armatur zur Entnahme von Wasser aus einem Wasserverteilungssystem.
Hydranten stehen in der Regel 50 Jahre im Einsatz.
Remich liegt in Luxemburg am westlichen Ufer der Mosel, die hier die Staatsgrenze zu Deutschland bildet. Das Dreiländereck Deutschland/Frankreich/Luxemburg (Schengen) liegt etwa 10 km südlich.
while exploring the streets of key west I took this shot. I found the texture and untidy look of brick wall behind made for an interesting background to this hydrant which we don't have in the UK.
Walking along river Saar, I noticed this old hydrant in front of an old wall. The writing "Peaze" catched my view. I like the nice bokeh and the calm, automun colors. It's a peazeful picture.

Checking for the dogs who came before her.
A few days later I was walking my dog across the street and a huge male Rottweiler was using the fire hydrant and appeared to be on a long strap with his owner. Then for some reason the man lost control of the dog and he started across the street towards us. My dog was in full protection mode and was barking and getting a little too worked up. At that point the Rottweiler almost got hit by a car, right at the time when his owner caught up with him and grabbed him. I am glad the dog and owner weren't hit, and I am also glad we managed to avoid a run-in with a dog whose breed tends to be aggressive. I know one person who owns Rottweilers, and one of them ate the foot off her goat when the goat stuck a foot through the fence. There's something to say about having your dog on a leash and having a collar that works, not just a strap around the dog's neck. End of rant.
