Some weeks ago i almost drove into and, never came out of this chuck hole*. However, as i swerved, i noticed the bricks and came back and took a picture the next day. A true photographer has to put aside the "what do people think i'm doing in the middle of the road with a camera? sensation". I never quite get there, i'm self conscious; that's why my best shots are in the woods.

* Chuck holes, no one calls them chuck holes anymore; too unsophisticated? Now it's pot holes, i feel like 'pot holes' came from a New York consulting firm. There's no logic to pot hole, how did a pot make a hole? (Wood)chucks can make holes.

Water and shape seem to be the definers... you knew one of us nerds was gonna link the definitions.

Cool discovery of secret bricks.

I'm no Constitutional scholar but, it looks to me like it's chuckhole hands down.

Nice photo - glad you went back. Maybe they thought you were taking a picture so you could report the chuck hole to the authorities - maybe people were glad to see you there! I have usually called them potholes but I like the name chuck hole better. You could chuck a lot of stuff into that hole.

I think it's a regional thing. It is a big one!

Chuck Hole - I'd never heard this before. An image of that Chuckie doll with a sledgehammer pops into my head :-)
