The hydrant is dead, long live the hydrant...
Something old, something new, something blue...
Hidrant je mrtav, živio hidrant...
Nešto staro, nešto novo, nešto plavo...

McCormick Mansion
Cantigny Park
Wheaton, Illinois 41.856372, -88.153856
April 10, 2023
This was my first visit to Cantigny since last fall. And the exterior remodeling on the mansion is nearly complete. One of the new additions is fire hydrants. In addition to these two, I counted three more within 50 yards of where I was standing. And that was just a casual search. I'll pay more attention next time. Evidently, the fire insurers had a word with the management. ;-)
But it was (and will be) more opportunities for my latest project. www.flickr.com/photos/jimfrazier/albums/72177720307428484
And this project is the result of the fun I have teasing all of you folks in other countries who don't know the joy of above-ground fire hydrants.

I do have a thing for photographing fire hydrants but I have no idea why we need one here in the middle of the national cemetery. This was a 6 second exposure shot on Kodak Portra 160 with my Holga 135PC pinhole camera.

Fire hydrant in St. Augustine, Florida, shot with my Pentax 67 on Svema FN64 that expired in 1992. The film was apparently not treated well over the years....
I meant to dedicate this shot to Nubian Eagle,

He always takes these fab shots of Hydrants & other things that may go unnoticed& makes them look fab, so this is my very 1st Hydrant try, I'm pleased.
Great things are done when men and mountains meet. This is not done by jostling in the street. ~William Blake~
I use to work in a fire hydrant factory. Parking was very expensive I kept getting hosed.
