Photo of the Day: July 12, 2007
Flickr user F1.4 has turned this sad little broken fire hydrant into a 1940s black and white Hollywood tragedy. Can't you hear the music crescendo as the camera slowly tilts down onto this scene? Then a pause as we reflect on the symbolism before ... the credits silently begin to roll. EXIF.

Ugh. How appropriate: a non-functional fire hydrant. Just another drop in the bucket.
Poor dead thing.
I'm reminded of the final scene in Little Caesar:
".....is this....the end of Rico?"
Nice shot, the tilt really makes it.
Reminds me of a typical Saturday night scene in the monkeyrotica boudoir, after two servings of moogoo, a couple Singapore Slings, and yet another attempt at page 78 of the Kama Sutra for Dummies.
Music from the Godfather for the crescendo. Anachronistic for the 40s but fits the feel.
