While traveling, everything looks exciting and new – even the most mundane things can be beautiful! I was intrigued by the beautiful craft of the utility (i.e. “manhole”) covers I saw all over Japan. I now collect these pictures wherever I can find them.
Japanese Manhole Covers
Courtesy of Makiko Boynton – Cover found on the street near Tokyo Bay. Isn’t it pretty?
More recently I found these in downtown Los Angeles.
