As part of the project to put in a new water pipe on my street, they shut off the fire hydrant and put a hood over it. Very undignified.
A Humat hydrant valve, which allows other hose lines to draw from the hydrant without interuppting the supply to the first in engine.
Do fire hydrants interfere with milk deliveries? This photo was taken on Brandywine Street just east of Wisconsin Avenue.
My entry for today's Daily Shoot:
Make a photograph of something circular and crop it within a square frame.
The city is in the midst of a major water main maintenance pass. This means, among other things, inspecting the fire hydrants and removing those that don't pass. The "parts dump" contains old ones, new ones, and a variety of pipe, connectors, and valves. Great stuff!
The Daily Shoot assignment for 2010/07/01:
Construction seems to be perpetual: streets, sidewalks, buildings. Make a photo of something under construction today.
I remember while living in Hollywood, some guy was going around painting all the fire hydrants red, white, and blue during September & October of 2001.
