Hello hello, Kia Ora
Extend a hand of Welcome to the Feisty and Yellow booted Super Hero @Static_Scream!!! We are shadowing each other, just for security reasons...

The Picture is of a Manhole cover and a Seagull, both found in Island Bay of Wellington. The Seagull's a Red Billed Gull, and I'm pretty sure these are protected by the Maori.
Thanks to an incident long ago where the birds were disturbed by some raiding warriors, and made such a fuss that the local Maori were warned and consequently lived to claim that the birds carried the spirit of their ancestors, and they should be given due respect.

I recommend everyone should go and have a look at @Sketch and her enormous pencil, she looks like a bunch of fun :)

<3 YOU ALL <3

    Who would've thought that manhole covers could be so beautiful.

    @jimbonius I do, i do, I love photoshop lol :)

    @marcegaral thank you Marcela, I like the stories things have behind them, can hardly ever remember them to do them proper justice though...

    @windflower who indeed! I think Island Bay has some of the nicest ones, but I confess to not having studied the area of manhole covers, it might be worth looking into!

    Another great picture @Serendip. I especially like the background. You are lucky to have such artistic manhole covers in NZ.

    The Wellington City Council that approved the design gets hosannahs and kudoes from me, @Serendip. Sometimes government gets things right!

    @phainopepla95 I totally agree, they are award worthy and unlike your average manhole cover they really stand out, in a good way!
