One hole cover

 

 

This old utility cover is a scene in the street beneath our feet.  Its original usage is now now known.  It may have been a gas shutoff, or a water shutoff, or maybe a fill for a below ground heating oil tank?

This nicely patina-ed Bingham and Taylor GAS utility cover is seen in the street beneath our feet.  The cover is intended to be aligned so the arrow indicates the direction of the gas flow.

 

Louder than wetter

 

Looks ominous but not

Hot day clouds make a break as they approach cooler bay waters. They passed-by with sustained peals of thunder and heat lightning but very little rain.

 

Produce waste bins

At the back of a market, a row just installed and still clean bright orange-red bins stands ready to receive the wasted organic and produce food products.  The chain keeps scavengers from scrounging from the bins.
