Walking up and down San Francisco it's hard not to notice that the water drains of the city are embellished with colourful rainbow dots, each of them unique but following the same kind of pattern. The entire city's sewage system seems to be the palette of an invisible artist. Looking deeper into that matter I found the answer to my puzzlement here (I like the way they call them palimpsests, that's exactly what they are):

Someone took the time to make a patchwork out of them, beautiful!
