Have you seen the pictures of the dry Niagara Falls?
Update 15/01/2011: most of you are right, this is a damaged fire hydrant. However, what is that black circle in the middle?
The answer 27/01/2011:as already stated this is a damaged fire hydrant. The black circle in the middle is a polycarbonate ball the prevents water from flowing out after the hydrant was damaged. When the hydrant is intactthere are steel holders which keep the ball lowered and allow water to flow. A schematic figure of the system, may be found here.
I think it is a hydrant
I think also that it is a fire hydrant
Also can be a buried valve
Its body is made of Iron and has a plug inside. It is buried in sidewalk. It could be hydrant, fire or in a lesser probbility, drinking fountain.
I think it is a bayonet type fire hydrant.
That is a missile which stopped in the concrete walls.
Dear Elad,
I suppose that picture represents piezometer well or opening for drainage of water (reduction of hydrostatic pressure) behind the retaining wall.
The remains of the hardened mass around the borehole as a seems like signal to further injection maybe was done…

I also think it is a crashed fire hydrant
It is a ‘vandalized’ water distribution gadget.
First, this is not a wall, this is sidewallk the iron pice may be the basis for extinguishing the fire pump or a gas cylinder was buried upside down.
It is possible that is geodetic marker…
It looks like a broken fire hydrant
One fire hydrant was damaged in pavement.
I think is a broken glove valve, buried in the concrete
It seems to be damaged fire hydrant
Is is à geodisic point
this may be a damaged hydrant.
Is it the end of an inflatable plug?
It is definitely vandalized, red it might be a hydrant but no water is pushing out. My guess will will be a red metal bollard
certainly the pi cture show a policarbonate juntion ball to securyty inside of hydrant when its body is destroyed
