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!

Yesterday you said you’d have something VERY AWESOME for us. You underbilled it. This handily exceeds VERY AWESOME. (Also, please don’t feel that your county fair pictures are unloved. I’m out of town (actually out of the country) and haven’t had a proper look at them.)
(For that matter, I have not had anything close to a proper look at these manholes, but I can already tell of their stupendous awesomeness. Also, a very big thank you to whoever took the portrait, and a bigger thank you to Josy for letting them take it and then posting it for us to see.)
