Colorful cobbles

 
cobbled street with manhole cover and drain grate
Rain drain

This scene in the street beneath our feet has an 8 x 3 rectangular opening storm drain grate and a 9 by 9 square diamond manhole cover with 23 "teeth".  The somewhat symmetric cracks and colorful cobbles add to the scene.
 
Other examples of that style of manhole cover can be seen here and here.
