They serve as silent witnesses to centuries of stories unfolding above them. In Greece's enchanting Mykonos island, Hora reveals its charm through three pelicans grooming harmoniously amidst alleyways. Even these majestic birds acknowledge the allure of hidden pathways leading towards unknown destinations. Manholes are more than mere access points; they symbolize connections between past and present—gateways bridging worlds both seen and unseen. So next time you pass one by on your journey through life's labyrinthine streets, take a moment to appreciate their significance—the portals that bind us together underground while reminding us of boundless possibilities above ground.
