Odd shot - Fire hydrant

In case of Fire! Dig?! The world has surely grown up around the tiny fire hydrant!

  1. That's funny! It is burned under the pavement.

    Don't you have a similar belief in Indians religions that a saviour will come and save the earth?

  2. I like the idea that old things, no longer used, are left for others to see and enjoy. Surely something will happen besides people stumbling over it.

    I wonder why it was not repaired or removed?

  3. Weird... how about we have a Weird Wednesday... :)
    Odder than odd, anyway.

  4. Seems like city workers ought to have rescued this rather than bury it!

  5. Maybe it's for firemen under 5' tall? ;-)

    Great choice for "Odd Shots!"

  8. What a sight! And a very good reason to be careful not to start any fires nearby!

  9. Well, the yellow curb indicates the presence of it -- all you need is a connection and I can see the top of it so I hardly think it is useless. It looks very odd tho compared to those most of us are used to seeing.

    If you think that's odd, come and see my entry for today!

  10. I am wondering if it really is a fire hydrant, looks more like a drain pipe, certainly couldn't get a hose connected to it. Very odd indeed

  11. Good catch! Not sure if you saw the fire hydrant on Chuck Pefley's Seattle DP blog... http://almostoneaday.blogspot.com/2008/06/neighborhood-pride.html

    ...I've been trying to find one in Chennai ever since! Thanks to your clue, I shall set my sights lower!!

    Great post, once again!

  17. Very funny! Glad the road builders took time to think about the problems of a buried hydrant!

  18. How strange! And a hole under the kerb-stone, too. Very odd.

  19. Even more odd to us here in the UK as our fire hydrants are all underground.

    ReplyDelete
