I've posted another pic of a Matsuyama manhole cover before, but I still like them.

I hope to get a better shot of Imabari's manhole lids the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Actually it's Toon City ( pronounced Tone City) But the first time I saw it I thought of the movie,' Who Killed Roger Rabbit' & it's been Toon Town for me ever since.

not as interesting as... Benedicte posted a manhole cover, delightful to see 'cause of it's location ( www.flickr.com/photos/bendelachanal/7807023196/in/contacts/ ). This one, the location, if anything, overshows it. The location is next to a restored paddlewheel river steamboat, the Nenana, that once floated goods and passengers along the Chena, Nenana and Yukon rivers.

Alas my camera died and this is one of the last pictures I took with it. But all is not lost, there was a camera store on the corner and I bought a new one. Alas the operating manual is in Japanese. But all is not lost, I figured I could go on line and download an English O&M manual. Alas, they don't sell this model camera outside of Japan. But all is not lost, I found another model's O&M manual that has similar features and controls. So! after 45 minutes of teaching my new camera to speak English, I'm back in business! Oh yea, the manhole cover; I'd tell you more about it but I've run out of space here. -grin-

From the Noto Peninsula, Japan. One more in my manhole lid series....

Senroika is about half way between Kyoto and Osaka. They're especially proud of 'Expo 70', and the center piece in this manhole cover depicts a statue, a monument, of the sun in this, the land of the rising sun. Said statue is the first thing you see upon entering the expo70 grounds.
