The pumping station Zeldert is a former steam pumping station in the Eem Valley. The pumping station is located on the municipal border of Baarn with Amersfoort. It was built as a steam pumping station in 1896, after it was washed away at a dyke breach. In 1926 the steam pumping station was replaced by an electric pumping station.

There are 4 old pumps in Woodford, two of which are in Chigwell Road some distance apart and this is the larger of the two there. It's a very busy road but for photographic art (!), I've shown it this way.
I understand there is a local group who look after them and re-paint them annually.
Not been feeling it of late. Our pumpkin is coming on anyway.

I don't know the story of the water pump in the forest but made an interesting photo.

Today I went out for a rural sunset, after a bit a light unfortunately a large layer of clouds blocked the real colors. However, this shot was on the way. I couple of weeks agoI racebiked past this pumping station (gemaal) and like the setting a lot.
Hope you have a great weekend and many thanks for your favs, comments and views :-)
The Westermolen is a seesaw mill in Langerak in the Dutch municipality of Molenlanden. The mill is located at Nieuwpoortseweg 1, along the Vliet. The mill dates from 1652 and drained the Polder Langerak until 1974, initially together with the Oostermolen and the Broekmolen, which were a stone's throw apart. The Broekmolen was shot down by a German fighter plane on May 11, 1940 and was lost; the Oostermolen was replaced in 1939 by the Langerak diesel pumping station, which powers the original paddle wheel from the Oostermolen. This pumping station is now a monument. Between the Westermolen and the diesel pumping station there is an electric pumping station that drains the polder. In the event of major flooding, the mill and the diesel pumping station can be switched on. The Westermolen was inhabited until the 1960s.

How did I miss this?
This is the view over the pump at the station where I get gasoline. For the first time this week I realized how surreal it is.

"IN TUNE", art by Henk Schut.
IN TUNE is about finding a new balance between people and their environment by appealing to our hearing and listening abilities. Just like tuning a musical instrument, which requires the utmost listening and observation, we must continue to listen and tune in to our environment as humans.
A large and well-organised pile of timber in the corner of the pump station grounds.
On closer inspection, the top edges of each piece if bevelled off nicely, so we surmised that they are actually posts (eg fencepost, marker posts, etc) waiting to be deployed.
It is that time of year where things might go bump in the night, the chill starts to set in, and the Pump-King awakens. Imagination and senses go wyld. He is coming for you Barbra.
