I've yet to see two gas meters that are alike. Gas meters are the quintessential industrial object -- functional, strange, and rusty and crusty. And they are art.
Eventually gas meters will be replaced by something digital and sterile. Meanwhile, we can preserve this unique and accidental art form through photography, and enjoy gas meter art.
Although not required, please comment on one other photo in the pool -- it's always fun and interesting to receive comments. Also, do add where you spotted the gas meter to your photo's description, if you remember. You can award gas meter photos you especially like with a trophy by adding the HTML code below to your comments.
If there's a photo you especially like, you can give that photograph an award for helping to preserve gas meter art through photography. Just copy and paste this HTML code into your comments:
