Look!
A quick visit back to my Friday Harbor archives from earlier this year.
I had admired this drain cover for its functionality during heavy rain as it should not clog up with debris.
But, I did not think to look into it until I saw this little girl’s fascination.
This is what I saw:

But, I think that a bit more post processing emphasizes the water in a constructive (and fun) way.

Great shots. The little girl looking through the grate is wonderful – what a great moment.

Thanks Ryan – she is a particularly curious little kid, so not surprising that she had to have a look.

I rather like the first image looking down, the colour of the grate really got me sucked in (ahahaha…get it…okay, it was lame)!

Oh dear, I think you have too much time on your hands. You should be perhaps be taking pictures, no!?!

Thanks Toad. It was interesting to see water down there, even though everything was kind of dry. No idea where it comes from.

A very interesting perspective and a great job capturing it. I would have walked right past it. It’s also curious that light even gets to the bottom of the drain. Really nice shots. Oh, and the kid is cute, too.

Thanks Ken. I hope I don’t get a reputation when it comes to drains….
I did walk right past it several times as it was between our cabin and our parking spot. I was looking at the pictures of the girl and I think that is what made me look in the next time I walked by. I guess the light was just right, and the water in motion so it had an uneven surface that reflected well. Anyway, the first picture focused on the metal framework and was a dud – very boring.
