My Hobby
Kegs of beer were being rolled into pubs, the police were gathering on the street corners, and the Leprechauns were staking their claim to the prime views along the parade route. Has it been a year already?
I was a little perplexed as to why this fire hydrant was open in the middle of the winter. Maybe it was just routine maintenance to relieve some pressure? Maybe somebody wanted to make a #1 mess? My guess is that some whiz kid broke the seal on this. The city should really spend a penny and fix these kind of problems. Excuse me… I have to go.
I took this photo back in October of 2006. I had taken my wife to dinner for her birthday, and took this shot as we were leaving the neighborhood. I braced the camera on the edge of the fountain, turned off the flash, and got a pretty good result for a quick grab. I’ve been going through my catalog to get a set of shots ready for some B&W printing… I’ve added this one to the collection for consideration.
