Manhole Covers

After years of taking pictures, I have noticed that there are commonalities in many of them – like certain objects, colors, shapes and how I lay out my photo. For instance the color orange shows up a lot or that I place the subject in the center of my picture (which technically is frowned upon by those in the know). Triangles are in many pictures too. A common object are manhole covers. I don’t know what prompted me to take a photo of my first manhole cover, however below are 10 ranging from Seoul, Costa Rica, NYC, Austin, and NOT India. That’s right, I discovered the India manhole cover in Yosemite National Park. India must have had a pretty good deal going on them to have it show up there. I think that Yogi Bear or John Muir would be more appropriate, however at least it’s not of James Watt.
