It was almost 2 years ago that I posted my first Mundane as Art contest looking for manhole covers. I became inspired after recognizing manhole covers as art while visiting Badenweiler Germany. The result was a spectacular display in a virtual 3D galllery!
Since then you've helped me to go in to produce 16 uniquely beautiful galleries of Mundane Art.
I'm back in the Black Forest area of Germany again and it's time to go full circle with Round 17 of the Mandane as Art....Manhole Covers!
Here Are Some Samples That I Found Yesterday
I love the color and the detail of this unique cover! A real work of craftsmanship and art!
All four of these exhibit a mechanical theme while adding details unique to the area!

Great photos! They do manhole covers better there than they do in my town! I have nothing for this one, but it will be fun to see the contest entries!
Well i finally got a change to go on a manhole hunt yesterday and to my surprise i didn't realize how many manholes we walk over everyday not even noticing them i must walk over a or pass by maybe a hundred a day not even taking it in so yesterday i tried to pick the best looking ones that preferably had Thai writing on them which would make them look a bit more artistic.
This is a TOT manhole and TOT in Thailand is a phone and internet company this was put here in August 2011 and on the manhole it shows 8-2554 which is in Thai Buddhist calendar year.
And this second manhole is also a phone and internet company call DTAC worded in Thai on the manhole looks a bit older then the first manhole DTAC company have been around longer.
Thank you @kus-knee for getting me out on a manhole hunt it made me aware of how many manholes are around in Thailand not as artistic as your country has but we do have them..lol :)
Great entries. Thanks!
Thanks @kus-knee :)
Yeah I remember that first mundane art post. Inspiring. You have more artistic manholes in Europe than we do here in America. LOL But I will keep my eye out for some. Thanks @kus-knee
Keep seeking and ye shall find!
Hands down my favorite manhole cover of all time-- it even includes a man!
Very cool! This was actually made to be art!
Yeah, it's a fairly popular sculpture in downtown Bratislava, Slovakia.

Well that's something different it will be interesting to see what comes up in the contest i can't say we have any manholes in Thailand but maybe i haven't taken much notice but i shall go on the hunt..lol :)
At this point any entries would be good! You might be surprised at what you find!
Thanks i am on the hunt :)
Great contest @kus-knee, the hatches in Germany are very beautiful and made in an original way!
Thanks. Maybe you'll find one in your area!
These are awesome!!! I love your manhole covers and the one in Bratislava (which I have seen and never photographed? What is wrong with me??)
I cannot hold a candle to these, not by a long shot!!!

The art is sometimes made by the photographer. In this case that’s you!
I await your entry!
Oh, are you sure you weren't a psych kinda guy before you were an "Ole Dog?

@kus-knee, You've captured some very unique pictures and in my opinion these pieces are reflecting the art pieces of Battleship World. Stay blessed.

I am pleased to look at the beautiful manhole covers, but it will not be very honest if we forget about the covers, which are not very attractive))
Yes you found an ugly one!
Here are two cool ones found in the city of Hiroshima, Japan.
Very cool. When were you there?
I was there in 2015, planning to go back soon. I loved Japan.
And another one.
