Five ringers

Two manhole covers, both with five segmented rings and a center, were seen in the street beneath our feet.

 

8x8x8x8x8 with raised center

That manhole cover has 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 segments per ring, label with a raised center, and with vent holes in the second ring. 

 

 

12x12x12x6x6 and depressed center

 

This manhole cover has 12 x 12 x 12 x 6 x 6 segments per ring and a depressed center. 

The five rings make them look similar, but counting the segments per ring shows them to be different.

 

Grey on gray

 

Subtley Rothko

This "Gray on Grey" work takes the idea of Mark Rothko to another dimension with its strong and bold verticals and subtle horizontal repeating patterns.

 

 

 

 

Pea stone leak

 

Leaky wall

 

The wide spacing between the retaining wall blocks has allowed the pea stone gravel to spill through.

 

Pointy diamonds

 

Very pointy

This very pointy diamond pattern manhole cover was a scene in the street beneath our feet.  The ring is a 98 x 52 diamond pattern.  The cover is a 49 x 43 diamond pattern.  The rust pattern shows the direction of the water flow. 

 

 

Naturally rusted

 

31x29 cover

 

The late afternoon sun enhances the colors of the yellow street striping and the 31 x 29 diamond pattern on this sewer cover that was seen in the street beneath our feet.  This labeled SEWER cover is located in a marked off section of a parking lot and gets very little foot or vehicle traffic.  That has allowed it to attain a natural "rusty orange" color.

 

Spelling with numbers

 

7's and 3's make spelling easy

 

This side of the gas station sign uses 3's, 7's, and two different styles of "$" to say:  "PLEASE STOP STEALING R LETTERS".

 

The other side of this gas station sign had all the letters needed to advertise the gas station mart.
