Still working

Walden St. near Whitman Ave.- West Hartford, Connecticut USA

We were walking around the block and Anne, my wife, spotted this fire hydrant. I believe it is still functional. Some might say it needs new paint, but we love it just the way it is. :)

Man, what a find. Great layers of paint of different colors and the terrific age. Vote.

Looks more like a masterpiece than a functional fire hydrant.~V
