There are planters on the sidewalks of Chicago (I'm not sure how ubiquitous they are, I haven't conducted a formal survey) that look like they are carved with indentations around the sides. Interested in this detail on such a mundane and easily vandalized thing, one day I took a closer look. Come to find out, the three dimensional looking indentations are painted on. I tried to get shots from various angles so it would be obvious, but they are done so well, it's very hard to tell without touching them. A very interesting detail that few notice, I'm sure. And yes, Chicago is almost obsessive about having flowers all over the place.
