LOOKING DOWN ON A RAINY DAY

When I took my camera out recently on a particularly rainy day, I found myself looking down.  This is what I got.

First up was a manhole cover.  I liked how it was glistening in rain.

The next shot features a dead leaf, as a point of interest.  I chose the composition for the leaf, which was already there, but it still looked planted.

And here is the cover of some sort of electrical junction box, also glistening in the rain.

Neenah is a Wisconsin town between Milwaukee and Green Bay.  One of the major local industries is the Neenah Foundry, which makes basic iron products, such as manhole covers, sewer grates, etc.  I have seen their products throughout the U.S.

Here is another example, one of those plates located where sidewalks slope up or down at intersecting streets or driveways.  We've all seen them.

Finally, a patio of manufactured stones located in our subdivision.  In the 12-13 years since the patio was laid out, it has suffered some uneven settling.  But it does offer a bit of semi-abstract composition.
