    1. I just can't get over being an urban sociologist. I also like your photographs.

    1. "W" is for water. This is a cover to a water valve, but I'll bet it would be difficult to open as it seem to be concreted in place.

  4. Round and round we go, where we do not know, unless there's lots of snow, and all our tracks will show.

    1. Thank you for that, Lowell. Some of these round objects move, and some don't, but poetry is always appreciated.

  5. Interesting round features! The wheel stands alone as a work of art! And the valve looks so much like a smiling cartoon face!

  6. I enjoyed these pictures as well. I was so intrigued by the second one that I had to look up the A.Y. McDonald Company and found out they're still in existence making water valves and such, in Dubuque, Iowa.

  9. The juxtapositions you create with the objects you find are as intriguing as the photography. Is it all for fun or do you use a similar process in problem solving or philosophy development? It seems that could be an interesting meditative exercise at least....

    BTW, so far, no fresh lemon tarts to be found in Vienna. I did find the answer to your question as to the mystery statue on Stephansdom, though.

  12. I like the spiral wheel because of the twisty spokes. The other thing looks like a surveyor's mark, regardless, things like that fascinate me.
