Pre-lockdown, I probably would never have noticed this hydrant near my apartment building, but now that travel is limited to basically walking distance, I've become more observant of my immediate surroundings on my regular afternoon walks (wearing a mask and gloves, of course).
Seeing this hydrant, I was first drawn to the texture of the surface, with the peeling paint layers, and thought it might make a good subject for a B&W picture -- especially with my panny 20mm f1.7 lens, which is one the sharpest lenses I own. I tried to accentuate that in the edit, and I'm pleased with the result. Thanks for looking! #lockdownphotojournal
Among the cloudy, cold days of winter, you can find interesting contrast in daily objects, like on this hydrant I found among the streets of Copenhagen.

My first summer job was painting this ! Cool job : A car, the country, a radio and a map. Nothing else to care about , ie : a boss :)
Mon premier petit boulot consitait à peindre des poteaux incendie. Sympa : une voiture, la radio , la campagne et pas de patron :)
The fire hydrant on front of my house is one of my favorite test subjects, this time for my recently acquired Jupiter 8 (black version) and my, overhauled in Russia, Zorki 4.

The picture started to grown on me, so I thought I'd do a decidedly NOT SOOC variation. More details at the above link.

When you walk you see things you miss when you drive. The town we live in was doing some road construction near the studio and had ripped the pavement. sitting on top the pile of asphalt was several of those reflective lane marker bumpy things. Most are yellow, but the blue ones let fire trucks know where the fire hydrants are. These were just way to cool to let them be hauled away. If you have a fear of spontaneous combustion these might be just the ticket for you.
A fire hydrant in the abandoned portion of the Cedar Hill train yard in Connecticut. No funky camera angles here … the fireplug is sharply bent over, as though someone backed a bulldozer against it.
This hydrant was made not far from where I now live, at the Ludlow Valve Manufacturing Co. Ludlow was founded in Waterford, N.Y., in 1866 and moved across the Hudson River to Troy in 1872, where it remained until it went out of business in 1969. This particular model was manufactured for more than 70 years.
