Fire Hydrant, City Mall

Fire hydrant in Christchurch's City Mall. Not like North American hydrants, ours in New Zealand are sunk beneath the road or footpath surface. Autumn has arrived and leaves are falling, but the Council must have swept many leaves away within the previous few hours as there were many more leaves when I walked through here at Friday lunch time.

What an unusual fire hydrant... we have the vertical above ground version with a little pole and a flag for the winter time in case the snow gets too deep and hides the fire hydrants. May give a clean feel to the sidewalk but here in Winnipeg one would never find these in the winter time.
