Icebergs ... on Preston Street




A few days ago, I wrote of a meteorite - made of Luigi-ite - being found on Preston.
-
Now, icebergs !
-
Icebergs float, but just barely. Most of their bulk is unseen underwater.
-
Who knew that fire hydrants had a similar tale? Shown here is a nice four-pack of hydrants, waiting for installation along Preston Street. Below the bright yellow tops, is a red pipe and way way down, is a valve point, to which a pipe runs to the water main.
-
I have made a point of looking for fire hydrants in a number of foreign lands. I never saw any. They seem to be a north american piece of streetscape furniture.
