Today let's talk about the hatches. It so happened that the hatches are an integral part of city streets. They are located in a completely incomprehensible to me places. Some on the road, some right on the sidewalks. If the hatches on the road is clear - they perform only a utilitarian function, the complicated history with sidewalks. Luke on the pedestrian zone can not be ugly. Luke - a city flowers under the feet of pedestrians. These flowers can be just fine. Every city has its normal hatch. By design, manholes can be judged on the attitude to the residents of the City Hall. In the cities, where love and respect people, they can not shove a rusty, dirty, cast-iron pancake on the sidewalk. Hatches give people warmth and joy, hatches decorate the city, hatches can be a work of art and a tourist attraction, the hatch - a symbol of the city!

I find it hard to walk on our streets, it pains me to advance that closes well on our sidewalks. I can not look like reckless attitude towards pedestrians. The most annoying is that most people is not that they are being deceived. Let's see, what should be the hatches. My personal collection includes more than 2,000 photos of manhole covers, in this post I have collected the most interesting of them.
