Electric gansett

 

Now called by another name

This cross hatched manhole cover is seen in the street beneath our feet.  The company identity oval interrupts the orderly layout of the "=", "-", and "|" elements that are used in the design of this utility cover.  

 

Originally called the United Electric Power Company, the name was changed to that seen on the manhole cover on November 30, 1927.  This cover would have been produced some time after that.

The comment by anon at 12:37:00 intrigued me to look up that reference.  Hi Nabor is "your Home Grown Supermarket - since 1963" in Baton Rouge.  It has three locations.  In Google Street View, each store has a white vehicle standing in front of the store on the left side:

pickup truck

BRPD cruiser

12x12x6x6 with solid center

This emergence of this variant of the 12 x 12 x 6 x 6 segments per ring manhole cover has caused circular crackling in the street asphalt.  This was seen in the street beneath our feet.

Electric red

highlighted functionality

This double ring "ELECTRIC SERVICE" manhole cover features a 15 x 15 cross hatched rectangular diamonds central panel.  The outer ring consists of an alternating pattern of 30 "=" and 30 "|".  Red paint is used to highlight the function of this manhole cover.

The circular crackles around the cover enhance this scene in the street beneath our feet.

Contrails in the cloud

Four flew by

Jet airplanes on their way to somewhere flew through these cirrocumulus stratiformis clouds.  The airplanes are long gone; their contrails remain in the clouds as visible reminders of their passage.

To dispel any notion that those pumpkins are distorted dimensionally:

Leaky rainbow

 

It is colorful, but it is not a rainbow

Passers-by were taken by surprise by the petroleum product drip "rainbow" that appeared in the parking lot beneath their feet.
