Do Not Run Over This Hydrant

A Protected Fire Hydrant at the Port Docks, Astoria, Oregon December 8, 2009

I think the message is clear: "Do not run over this hydrant!"

With rain pattering on the ground outside my window, and more rain predicted every day through Saturday, it's tempting to dig into the archives for blue sky. I thought it was amusing to see this hydrant looking a little paranoid, but in fact fork lifts and other heavy equipment navigate the expanse of pavement at the Port Docks west of town. We've seen the area in several earlier posts, such as this one, this one, this one, and this one.

    It's funny, but I love either the colors and the idea of framing everything with the bridge.

    Never trust a forklift driver.

    The colors are superb. And the bridge in the background is perfect. I wonder how many vehicles hit those posts and how often they have to be painted!

    That little hydrant must feel like he has a whole army of these posts protecting him.
