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.

These could be Monkey beetles...not sure.
CPKC's empty northbound ballast train 3GPS starts down the depression under the Government Bridge in downtown Davenport, IA. The pumps are working overtime to keep the depression clear of water.
The railroad would lose the battle in a few hours as the mainline was shut down near Mound St with floodgates closed to protect the water plant.

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.

Die Jahrhunderthalle Bochum ist Industriedenkmal und eindrucksvolles Festspielhaus in einem. Sie befindet sich im Bochumer Stadtteil Stahlhausen. Die Halle wurde 1902 vom Bochumer Verein für die Düsseldorfer Industrie- und Gewerbeausstellung gebaut und anschließend als Gebläsemaschinenhalle für die Hochöfen des Bochumer Vereins wiederverwendet. Ihre Architektur ist einzigartig; ihre heutige Nutzung so vielfältig und spannend, wie es nur gelebte Industriekultur möglich macht.
The Bochum Centennial Hall is an industrial monument and impressive festival hall in one. It is located in the Stahlhausen district of Bochum. The hall was built in 1902 by the Bochum Association for the Düsseldorf industrial and commercial exhibition and was then reused as a blower machine hall for the Bochum Association's blast furnaces. Their architecture is unique; their use today is as diverse and exciting as only living industrial culture can make it possible.

How did I miss this?
This is the Flathead River and the Pump House that is part of the Flathead Irrigation Project. The pump house was built around 1940. It intakes water from the river....shoots it up the steep bank and deposits it into the Pablo Reservoir to irrigate hundreds of acres in the Flathead Vally. The Flathead Valley produces potatoes and wheat mostly, with corn and Canola as rotator crops. Along that pipe there are stairs so crews can get up and down the hill for maintenance.....355 stairs to be exact! It's also quite a workout if one wishes to do some stair stepping! :-)
Stay warm all!
Thanks for viewing!
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.

While driving the back roads of Minnesota in the middle of the night, you've yet to see another car on the road . . . your gas tank gauge is hovering near empty . . . fortunately you spot an island of light in the dark . . . YES! A place to fill up . . . but you notice someone wandering about, just outside of the range of light from the island . . . the person is carrying something . . . sticks, a bat, a tripod??? . . . the last item is illogical . . . why would someone be taking a photograph of a gas pump in the middle of the night . . . common sense tells you to keep driving . . . better to be safe than sorry.
My inspiration for photographing gas stations at night were the images taken by Frank Loose which can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/frankloose/albums/72157720238061513
Looking forward to more nights out looking for other gas stations to photograph.

A rusted water pump without a handle greets occasional visitors to this multi-faceted barn that has several additions to the original structure. Few youngsters today can identify with pumps like this and an older adult has to explain to them what purpose they served years ago.
Before we got electricity on our farm in 1949, our farm place had a couple of these and one of them was a shorter version standing on the edge of a white tin sink in our kitchen and was the source for water in our home. There was no switch on our kitchen pump and if you wanted a cool drink on a hot summer day you had to grab the handle and pump up and down until the pump “caught” and started to bring up water.
I was too young at the time to understand the physics behind how a pump could bring up water by simply pumping the handle but I learned not to feel badly about my ignorance as I realized my mother who was 38 at the time didn’t understand it either. She would often have to go outside and yell for my dad to come in and she would advise him the pump was dry probably needed new rings as it would not work anymore.
Dad would snort and find some water to pour down the pump shaft and then give the handle some strong action and it wasn’t long before water would once again gush out.
Our outside pump near the hog shed was another matter. Sometime my dad would have to start a small fire in the winter time to thaw it out before it would work. My older brothers who fancied themselves aspiring Red Skeleton comedians would encourage me to lick the pump handle, telling me the sub-zero winter temperatures made it taste sweet.

Sometimes it is fun to take my Yashica 44 for a walk. I have been cutting down 120 film to 127 with variable results.
I fell in love with this diesel pump at a local farm.
The swirly bokeh and the looks from the Fomapan 100 at ISO 50 makes a very nice combination.
