  3. A blue door with a coal hole cover in front of it, Lancaster, England

    I’ve walked past these coal hole covers for over 20 years without realising what they were en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_hole

    To be fair, they're next to squarish covers labelled "Water" and even the roads nearby don't have coal holes

  6. In my defense, I had no idea that #ManholeCoverMonday was a thing here, or I'd have been participating long ago. Bits of artistic infrastructure fascinate me. Here's the first one I could find on my phone, on the grounds of the former #ValleyForge General Hospital, a military hospital now used for a Christian college. I'm not sure which foundry the 'W' represents – it appears to say "Contractors F[oun]dry Inc", and Phila, 1942.

  7. I got this card in Atami, Shizuoka, Japan. It depicts the climactic scene in Ozaki’s novel ‘Konjiki Yasha’ (Diamond Demon), a tragic love story of Kan-ichi and Omiya. Kan-ichi is the man Omiya was to marry. When a wealthy merchant’s son proposed with a giant diamond she refused Kan-ichi. When Kan-ichi found out, he proclaimed Omiya had been swayed by the Diamond Demon. This story made Atami a very popular tourist spot in the 1600’s and it’s still so today! #manholecards #manholecovers #マンホールカード
