Fat lot of good The World Health Organisation are. Today they issued an urgent warning that the Manhole Virus is becoming pandemic. Too flippin' late for me. Must have caught it off Kim www.flickr.com/photos/digitalfemme57/sets/72157623329104254/ or Gary www.flickr.com/photos/garageowns/4878882158/ or some other flickr reprobate.
SO TAKE HEED : If you suddenly stop on a manhole cover and find your camera inexorably starting to point down towards your feet, DO NOT CLICK THE SHUTTER. Once clicked, you are infected. There is no known cure except chucking your camera in the nearest river.
Walking around Los Angeles, not a comment just an observation. I have a tendency to look down or to the side when waiting for a shot to clear and take throw away images (like this) while I wait. Sometimes they end up more interesting that what I first set out to shoot.
Manhole covers have fascinating patterns. And textures....
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Happy Textural Tuesday!

Bruges (Dutch: Brugge; French: Bruges; German: Brügge) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares (138.4 sq km; 53.44 sq miles), including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee, meaning "Bruges by the Sea"). The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.
It's been a rainy summer! Perhaps it's a reminder to help the people who have been in the path of devastating storms. I'm thankful for the relief efforts already in action, and the many ways we can fund them.
Rockville, MD. Flickr originally tagged this as a "ceiling" and "rotunda," as if it were the inside of a dome.
