92 Photo of the Day April 3, 2011 -- Color in unlikely place

I am fond of taking pictures that involve machinery, old things, and chipped paint. Today on a walk with Pat I came across this chipped beauty.  Fire hydrants are not commonly thought of as lovely, but I thought this was sublime in its own way. The colors are deep with good natural color saturation.


One reason these colors pop is because the day was a perfect photo day, overcast and generally bright.


Maybe I can find some chipped paint on a barn. Now that will be fun.
