Located in Wiesbaden, Germany. Via the Manhole Porn subreddit (I kid you not - and despite the name totally SFW).
Reposted from last year to add this manhole cover -
- found by John Farrier and posted at Neatorama. The artist has a gallery of similar "street art," so I'm not sure if the manhole cover was painted in situ or digitally altered. I suspect the latter - but still clever.
Reposted from 2018 to add this manhole cover that provides a map of Oklahoma City, with a rivet to show where you are. At the discussion thread it was mentioned that this style of manhole cover was used on sidewalks, not in the street where you would have to dodge traffic to view it.
Instant flash-back to the music box in Camberwick Green from when I was a kid;

No idea why Americans love to do it, but it's Wiesbaden, not Weisbaden.
ReplyDeleteKorrigiert. Vielen Dank.
DeleteIt's simple rally, i followed by an e means prolonged i in German, pronounced exactly like "field" or "believe", even though these are exceptions and "ie" mostly serves as a replacement for y in plural forms, where it is pronounced like the german "ei".
DeleteWas sagen Sie?? German "ei" is nominally just a little more closed than Germa "ai", thus almost English 'i' in "fine"; in Southern Germany, it is more towards "ey" in an exaggerated English "heyyy..."
DeleteThe same type featured in the film "The Third Man " filmed in Vienna .
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the people who make prints of beautiful manhole covers and sell them as t-shirts and bags? Such a cool idea
ReplyDeleteOr have a blog called Skeetmotis https://skeetmotis.blogspot.com/ that has quite a few photos of manhole covers, sewer covers, utility covers, etc., all seen in the street beneath their feet.
