Cover Girl

I've always liked taking photos of pretty manhole covers when abroad and I really had a field day (or rather fortnight) in Japan where they had different and really pretty and original designs in every place we visited:

Hachiko, Shibuya station, Tokyo

cherry blossom, Ueno (I think that's where I took it anyway...), Tokyo

apples, Jigokudani, Nagano prefecture


deer, Nara

cranes, near Himeji station

and more cranes, on the same street
