Fun with public amenities
Saturday, February 19th, 2011
Now for something totally different. Some time ago, a friend shared some of his snaps of a series of manhole covers/utility vault lids that he saw while traveling. They were totally fun, and made me take note of something I often completely ignore.
As I’ve been poking around Japan, I’ve been paying more some attention to various features in the public space, that I thought would be fun to share. (This post’s for you, Joe.)

This utility vault cover was in color. How cool is that? The design is featuring one of the elements in Kanazawa's historic garden, considered one of the top three gardens in the country. Understandably something to be proud of, so no surprise it "made the cover" so to speak...
More after the jump… (more…)
