Shoreacres has given me an idea for a challenge. After a chat about potholes she commented: “I can’t imagine any place in the world is boring, if only we take the time to explore it. For example: how about a gallery of potholes?”
So without further ado: here my potholes photos!
If you would like to join in, post your photos of potholes from your post just include a pingback to this post.
Now the next one is not my photo but published in the daily echo last year:
SNIPS & SNAPS 
Definitely biggies there, I shall have to get out and about and find something bigger. Shouldn’t be too difficult as I jerk and bump over them in my car every time I’m on the road.

You call those potholes? In New Orleans the potholes are so big that they have their own potholes. Sinkholes? Sheesh, a streetcar almost fell into one. 🙂

I don’t take them. Sometimes my daughters do. I live in New Orleans, in The Garden District. My street — First Street looks like Berlin 1946. Google us and see. The city has a plan using FEMA money. It will cost $7 billion and take 18 years to repair my city’s streets.

18 years! Did a Google search and according to a website about potholes in North America: The worst six are: Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Chicago, Detroit and your New Orleans

I’ve been to Montreal, Chicago and Detroit in the last year. Detroit is a bankrupt city that is trying to come back so that doesn’t really count. The other two looked pretty good to me. Maybe when I return home — later this month — I’ll do a pothole series.

I’m not supposed to laugh but I can see that the police are looking into it. Not sure that’s their job, though. Hang in there. 💕❤️

I’m glad you noticed the subtle joke – these are traffic police – we are a small overcrowded country and if one main road has to close it causes mayhem and disrupts business – needless to say potholes on main roads have priority compared to side roads.

Of course, I understand. Politics and infrastructure. It happens everywhere. I hope the situation is resolved soon. Best wishes.

This is wonderful: funny, sad, and infuriating all at once. I’ll make it a point to look around for an example. I may have to leave my little city to find one, though. They’re pretty good about keeping things in repair here. In Houston? Not so much. I know where there are some world-class potholes there!

I just found this Japanese example in the news. My, my. If our potholes eat right and exercise, they might grow up to be one of these.

Sounds good – but can’t open it – perhaps because I’m across the Atlantic or not subscribed to Twitter?

Loads, but they tend to get sorted reasonably quickly.

Really interesting collection and pretty risky too! Hope all of them get sorted out soon!
