I’m fascinated by this red fire hydrant. I think it interests me so much because it’s out in the middle of a field with no buildings anywhere near it and I don’t know why. This area once was the site of a magnificent old resort hotel called the Briarcliff Lodge, so I guess it’s probably something to do with that. In this picture I particularly like the contrast between the bright white of the snow and the vibrant red of the hydrant, highlighting the separation of the hydrant from its surroundings.

When I posted this to Facebook it was surprisingly popular.
