How it all began
The quest for the perfect manhole started as a bit of a joke. My father was taking pictures of them. I said I would put them on the web.
The search has been carried forward by amognst a true devotee the "vegan". He has been cruising around the world ministering to rich Americans when not ministering to the sick in war zones. Any leave that has come his way he has used to take some of the images you see here.
Its worth looking at how different cultures interpret something as simple as a cover for your drains. Some are really simple, some much more elaborate. As you dismiss this site as massively unimportant, try not to look at your feet next time you are out some where a little bit different.
