Thanks, ehpem. These were some of the first covers I noticed that had a beautiful design. But I must have walked over them a hundred times before I did take notice. Now I look for them every chance I get.
I have had that experience on the street quite a bit, the not noticing part. Though as far as I know the castings are all pretty boring and very similar.

More than like, especially the top one. Lots going on there, with everyone playing nicely.
Thanks, Linda. The first shot was an afterthought after I shot the cover. There is a “Part 2” coming up so you’ll see why it was an afterthought.
Love the yellow lines in the top one. heavy metal….I love it!
Thanks, Howard. I can’t resist a yellow line. Heavy metal indeed. Did you ever try to lift one of these things?
I concur with Linda!
Thanks, Blue.
A lovely mandala!
Thanks, Ash. And it should last longer than the average mandala.
Wow, those are amazing designs. They have a Celtic feel to them. Someone cared a lot about their street furniture.
