a beautiful image

I guess we walk over these regularly James and never really look at the design. Nicely captured.

Many thanks Ed there are some very ornate drain covers out there but I do get some strange looks when I take pics of them!!

Wonderful details.

Thank you very much Jaap

Das ist ja ein toller und schöner Bildausschnitt lieber James,klasse von dir gesehen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Güni

A nice find James............and a superbly sharp and detailed image. I like the diagonal composition and the muted colour palette too. Splendid work sir!

Designer manhole covers are very trendy in Japan at the moment:

Maybe you've started a trend on here with this one......watch this space!

I am eagerly watching Keith :-) the Japanese manhole covers have been going for a long time now I have heard of people going there to specifically to take pics of them.
There is also a woman in France who gets permission from local councils to paint and decorate manhole covers.

Sincere thanks for the comment and best wishes for a good weekend
