Look what I saw while walking to work the other day.
This is a photo I took of a manhole cover on the corner of Wabash and Van Buren in the Loop. I'm guessing the city must be planning on doing sewer-work sometime soon because it's clearly been marked in chalk.
I almost screeched like a little girl. Green is my most favorite color so I spotted this right away.

Here is a close-up shot.
Mind you, I did get some odd stares taking photos of a sewer and being in the middle of live traffic didn't help things either!
I know what you're all thinking: "Dean, this isn't art. It's a friggin' manhole cover, you imbecile!"
Yes, yes, yes....while all of that is true, I just love the color combination of the bright, lime-green chalk against the dark, chocolate-brown sewer.
It was an unexpected splash of green that I wanted to share with everyone on St. Patty's Day!

I would have taken a picture of that, too! My birthday is the day before St Patty's and emerald green was my favorite color as a little girl because all the shiny shamrocks signaled my up-coming birthday!
Martha!
Your birthday's the day before St. Patrick's Day? Lucky you! (no pun intended)
Oh yeah.......green just rules!
Happy belated birthday!!

I thought, "what an interesting pie crust. Looks like a computer design."
NOT
Nice photo, and YES I would have taken it too. Digital photography has thrown all caution to the wind as far as 'wasting film' worries.
Hey Mary!
Thanks for checking out the "pie crust". LOL
I must've taken a dozen shots of that manhole cover before getting the perfect photo. Thank goodness for digital cameras!

My friends say I find the most unusual things to photograph. I think I read a similar comment on one of your more recent posts. I think it is the gay eye connecting with the gay mind.
Dean!
Ha, could be!
