Water Dept. Valve in the Grass ...not far from the White House.

|
|
Water Meter with Black Outline I've never seen a water meter with such a large black outline. Maybe it was a sewer cover before they turned it into a water meter? |
|
|
Water Dept. with Yellow Paint I thought yellow paint indicated gas?
|
|
|
DC Dept. of Highways Surveyor's Marker I don't remember any highway near the DC Mall.

C. H. L. & PP Pipe Tunnel Neat checkerboard pattern. What's a pipe tunnel? Is that like reverse direction sewer?

Cover in the Plaza Grid I think someone had been traveling to a foreign country when they conceived of this solution to the round hole in a square grid problem...

Grid Cover with White Street Lines Now that's how a government should be run.
|
|
|
W. ?? Co. Drip Cover I can't read it. Sorry. Go ask Diane. I'm just shootin'. No time to research and write a book. I got bills to pay. |
|
|
What a Gas! Now does that look like it's been on fire with gas? Yep.
|
|
|
Grid Cover with Weeds This one looks like the grid blades are sharp like a knife.
|
|
|
Mondrian /Lewitt Drain Well, somewhere in between Piet and Sol.
|
|
|
Decorative Drain This one must've been donated by the French, since it's very similar to ones seen and photographed in Paris.
|
|
|
Toynbee Mosaic OK. Who did this? It doesn't look official. I just saw two others just like it in Chicago and NYC.
|
|
|
Hex Valve in a Round Cover in a Hex Plaza We could call this HEX rounded and hexed, or should that be a rounded HEX hexed? Or maybe... ... ...
|
|
|
Circle in a Circle OK, let's see... circle in a circle in a square, or circle squared and squared? Great browns.
|
|
|
Circle in a Cover with a Cross What do you think?

|
|
Several Covers in the Grass I'm not even going to attempt this one.
|
|
|
Massive Square Cover in the Grass I think this one may qualify as a splendid, highly evolved, almost militaristic wandjina? |
|
|
Electrical Division Capsule Cover in Cracked Cement This is a sign of a healthy, vibrant public utility. Not.
|
|
|
Electrical Division Capsule Cover in Twigs and Dirt Another sign of a healthy, vibrant public utility. Not..
|
|

Electrical Division Capsule Cover in Crumbling Cement The final sign of a healthy, vibrant public utility. Not. Tryptic anyone?
