Hello Per,
Nice idea of this colourful hydrant in the middle of the greyish Berlaymont.
When I worked at the Commission long time ago, I was at the Berlaymont everyday.
Nice memories of Brussels !!!

The building was expensive, that has been compensated for by these hydrants: the B symbol stands for Brussels, and outside Brussels it stands for Belgium/België/Belgique/Belgien ;o).
I like the angle very much Per, you emphasize the subject perfectly, though the curved wall of the building is a nice touch in the background. Well seen! TFS.

This contribution to a interesting theme is quite human with its arms, more than this its equipement is to on the front.
Very modern and the agle makes it humoristic.
I like it

Very good compo, and I really enjoy its colours' shame. We have a friend there working, so it was also good to see...
Somehow, it is strange that these hydrants are red. Shows that these are in case of fire, but when it comes, who can find the hydrants among the red flames :)
Thanks for sharing, Per, very clean composition!
Cheers,
Marcie

I see you have been busy looking for another fire hydrant. Here you show us a rather special one from the city. It seems to stand tall and proud in it's fire engine red colour, and willing and ready for a most important job. Amazing how these little pieces of equipment can actually help to save lives. I love the angle you chose for this one, esecially including so much of the grand building in the background.
Another great entry for our theme. I'm still looking for a 'rural' one. Every time my hubby takes for a ride in the car, I keep my eyes open and think of you Per. So far, they all seem to be the same style as the suburban ones.
Very good informative and interesting note.

Interesting looking fire hydrant, it doesn't look like the kind in the US.

In front of the building we love to hate... very well taken this hydrant ! Nice compo and great colors

ps I've started to 'notice' fire hydrants now too - you know that outside Brussels they don't have the 'arms' ? Found a couple in my town and they only have the front side to hook up on, nothing on the sides whatsoever...

I like your 'OUT-OF-SPACE' shot Per! I'm kinda fond of hydrants, and this is a good shot with excellent colour contrasts, showing EU's reality! Tfs, Jay
