Installing a new utility pole in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The old utility pole, still in place in these photos, had to be moved to install a new storm sewer line. April 2012.
Everywhere in Hungarian urban environments you see these cryptic signs. They point to the locations of various utilities within the building. For example, the blue sign is labeled "Víz" - that means water and that's as far as I'll go. I can't really tell what else is going on there. I'm guessing the numbers are distances in meters - the comma is used in Hungary as the decimal point is used in the USA.
Toronto, Canada. **A no-brainer, you'd think. After watching a concert, we walked home on Queen St. W. We came across this lit up manhole cover beneath our feet. I had to take a shot of it. I thought that it was a little odd that especially during G20, this manhole cover was left unsecured for easy access. In fact, there's a light that trails all the way down it's tunnel. Everyone walking on the street marveled at this fact. Two guys attempted to enter last Sunday night, but were caught. It begs the question... hundreds of manhole covers were secured near the Red Zone, but why wasn't *this one, and the others near major hotels, the Eaton Centre and City Hall?
