I think they're great. Shame more of ours aren't like this.
Ooooh, nice!

The one I took was just a manhole cover for a drain, but I like that fact that as ordinary as they may be, in Japan they are beautiful too.

Edit: I've just found another Japanese site that shows the exact same cover as I posted. Apparently it is an electricity manhole cover, not drains.

The 4.0 Singer flat 6



If I could afford a Singer I'd have buy another engine just to keep on display.
