Colorful cobbles

 

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.

Resembling the Downtown Charlottesville fire hydrant that is located some 460 miles away, this one has a white body, red bonnet and outlet caps, and, rust stains.

 

 

Yellow hydrant

At ready

This 4 1/2 inch fire hydrant was made by the Kennedy Valve Company, located on East Water Street in Elmira, New York.  The company originated in 1877 with Daniel Kennedy at a location on Gold Street in lower Manhattan in New York City.  They moved to Coxsackie, New York in 1890, and then to Elmira in 1907 where it continues to this day.  This model is the AWWA with a 200 GWP capacity.

Two yellow
