Sewers everywhere... (page 5 of 8)

Thanks Timouss! 🙂

Hey Stef,

I just got back from Barcelona and, as promised, I thought of you (not just for the manhole covers but also for Barça and its stadium ;)) Here’s my little contribution :)





For the last two, I’m not sure if they’re manhole covers or access points for technical conduits (electricity, gas, water, etc.)

Thanks for your Catalan contribution! 😎

That’s weird, it looks like it’s written in Italian on the first one... 😮

Stef

Didn't check the previous pages... And it's not just manhole covers.

Gorgeous series of Japanese manhole covers, thanks!!! 🙂

My latest souvenir from Brussels...

This is what we call dusting off an old post... 😛

Photo of a "Carioca" manhole cover brought back from the Cidade Maravilhosa... 😎

Hi Steph.

This time I’m only bringing back one, from La Escala, south of Roses.

Thanks for this lovely shot! 😛

Stef

Hi,

While I was in Rhodes, I thought to look down at the ground!

The manhole covers are gorgeous.

Thanks for this contribution that keeps this post alive! 🙂

Hi neighbor,

I just came across this post.... My contribution, with Tallinn and Bergen:

Hi neighbor! 🙂

Thanks for these two plates. Too bad the second one’s a bit dark—the design looks nice.

Stef

Yeah, I had retouched it to try to remove the reflections from the water. Because in Bergen, it rains. A lot. On average, about half the year. There's a story that goes around in Norway: In Bergen, a tourist asks a child: "-Tell me, does it ever stop raining in this city? - I don't know, I'm only 8 years old," the kid replies.

Just goes to show that Marseille isn't the only place with "exaggerated" stories!

Here's the clearer photo again:

Cute little anecdote 🙂 In Belgium, there's apparently a saying: "If it's not raining, it's because it has rained or it's about to rain." From what I could verify on the spot, it's barely an exaggeration... 😛

Stef

Stavanger, Bergen,

Thanks for your contribution. This Bergen plaque is quite popular, but it’s true that it’s really beautiful. 😉

Stef

Glad this post is back up! I’m bringing back tons of photos from Central Europe.... I thought of it! Just need to sort through them and I’ll post.

Cool, can't wait! 😉

Stef

We're kicking things off with Ljubljana....
