I posted this hydrant a couple years ago. When I returned recently, I found that the weeds have almost swallowed it.
Crews responded for a reported warehouse fire in Lincoln at approx. 9 a.m. on January 3rd on Eighth Avenue. The first arriving truck reported heavy smoke and flames through the roof of this large industrial storage warehouse operated by Creative Juices, a bottling company. The nearest hydrant to the scene was several kilometers down the mountain in Jordan, and the fire required a large amount of water so crews from Pelham and Grimsby were also called in for assistance. Damages were pegged at roughly $500,000 and is not considered to be suspicious.
For most of the years we lived here, the hydrant sat on a vacant lot, in the middle of a dense neighborhood. One summer, up popped this craftsman home. Most don't realize it's so new. It looks like it's been here a hundred years like several of the homes around here.
Fire Hydrants were installed, and a water pond created in the 1880s, but when the fire of 1898 erupted, the filters in the piping system between the pond and the town were clogged, and no water came through the fire hydrants!
Well I seem to continue to take pictures of hydrants. Soon I'm going to need to start a fire hydrant set.
I was aiming for overexposed, because it fit the mood of Key West while we were there with the bright sun and hot pavement. However, I probably over-overexposed it a bit and had to draw out some more of the color in post-processing.
This hydrant is in from of the Emanuel Episcopal Church in Charleston South Carolina. Mourners have written terms of endearment of the victims of the horrible tragedy. To me, the hydrant looks like a cross.
Do you call this things hydrants? I didnt know its name, not even in spanish! I would have called them water pumps or fire water supply or something like that, haha.
Actually its pretty hard for me to find one of these in my area, I could say they are pretty rare... This one is in a new area that is being built in the town i live in, and there are lots of them! The funny thing about this one, is that its next to the countryside, pretty close to a nature protected area we call "El Pardo". There are no buildings next to it. I wonder if someone checks if it works, hehe.
Well, this is a type of picture I have had in mind for a while, but I didnt find one of those so... until today that I saw a bunch of them in this area and I just couldnt resist!
