manholes of monmouth
What's with all the manholes?!
Back in January 2007, I posted a photo of an Ocean Township gutter. Someone said, "You can learn a lot about a community from its manhole covers." Fine. I posted some manhole covers. Someone else suggested that I make a typology out of it. I was compelled.
And THAT is how all this madness started. (They're all from Monmouth County, by the way.)
The manholes are for you to EXPLORE. C'mon. There's almost 50 photos here. Do you know where they were all taken? Did I REPEAT any patterns? Clicky clicky! Find out!
I'm posting this in honor of the City Daily Photo "metal" theme. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants!

I wondered if utility covers would show up, and here you have a treasure trove! Nicely done, and a lot of work!
Oh how fabulous! I love manhole covers too - this is a stunning collage, making a work of art of the whole, but then so is each one so gorgeous. Well done.
Wow! You took pictures of so many manholes!!!
They look so beautiful too.
Happy Theme Day!
What a fantastic collection - beautifully photographed. I'm going to be looking carefully from now on!

You are so right, the back of the car does look so like a ChiaPet. Thanks for that link!
Wow! These are beautifully done and well presented. I'd frame this and hang it on the wall.
Excellent collection of manholes! Isn't it great to have a theme day that gives otherwise odd photos a purpose?
Happy Theme Day!

Brilliant! It looks like a coin collection at first glance:) I love manly manholecovers!
Very interesting choice for your theme day! It's very metal!
I couldn't help but notice that you were the number 1 manhole cover whore on flickr. I'm very proud of you. :)
Jeff- what! I am not.
I AM, however, the #1 Manhole Cover Whore in New Jersey, a title in which I take much pride.
On second examination, I stand corrected, technically speaking.
