Manhole Cover Art


As the blinders come off of your eyes, and you become more aware of the aesthetics around you, you start to notice art everywhere and in everything. Have you ever taken the time to look down at the ground when you are walking in the city and notice the manhole covers? Manhole covers are a good representation of radial balance, but all of them aren't necessarily balanced radially. Some of them are just beautiful. There are lots of organizations and websites dedicated to the beauty of manhole covers. http://www.manhole.ca/, http://www.sewerhistory.org/grfx/components/mhcvr_us1.htm, http://www.flickr.com/groups/manhole/pool/, http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/10/japanese-manhole-covers/
