I didn't know they came in so many different colours. Ours are yellow concrete markers that show the location of the water supply underground, through a metal cover.
I've always found fire hydrants fascinating. They seem to have faces so your mixture is just fabulous to me. Thanks.
Very cool collage! Now I know how you name those 'water/fire things'... :-)
Wow so many colours! I love this! How much fun is this?!?
I'm glad you all enjoyed these as much as I did taking the pictures of them. They are color coded for a reason - - - the color corresponds to the size water main it is attached to. The red hydrants are usually associated with a commercial or industrial area.
Fascinating collage with equally fascinating information. Never knew the hydrants came with different size nozzles; now I'll have to be more observant about ours!
Great mosaïc and an explanation new to me,Thanks.
