Back in 2010 (or so) I took a photo of a Bell Systems manhole cover in Portland.  Covered in moss it looked kind of reminiscent of an english country garden - or so careless viewers suggested.

I showed it to a friend earlier this year and he said he'd been taking photos of manhole overs forever, and could I please take manhole cover photos wherever I went....

This is the result.

All photos are taken with smartphone - they get GPS locations easier that way.  The original from Portland is unfortunately lost, along with the smartphone, down a 1400-year-old well. C'est la mort!
