The pumping station Lely is an electrically driven pumping station in 1930 and is still used to keep the Wieringermeer dry. The building was designed by Dirk Roosenburg.
Though these gas pumps are no longer in use, they provide a great glimpse back into a time many of us remember, when things seemed a lot simpler.
I can still recall the first time I saw a pump your own gas station in Michigan! They had yet to hit Florida, and I was amazed that people were allowed to fill their own tanks! Now it's hard to find a station where you DON'T.
Since I have a busy morning tomorrow, thought I would sneak in my truck photo a day early. This is a 1963 International pumper truck with the logo of the Matsqui Fire Department. The truck, restored by Hub Fire Engines is used for parades and special events by the Abbotsford Fire Department. The District of Matsqui and the Village of Abbotsford were two separate municipalities until 1995 when they amalgamated to become the City of Abbotsford. Photo taken in Abbotsford, B.C. HTT a day early.
Our local mountains had their first snowfall of the season. I managed to escape work for the afternoon and visited Seymour.
The ski runs only have a foot of snow. Above them, I followed the regular trail until Pump Peak. Here I wandered around in the fresh stuff. No snowshoes, but only sinking up to my knees in the deeper spots.
During the winter these trees are thick with snow and ice. It was a nice variation to have them only mostly covered. A happy hour was spent making the only footsteps and trying out different compositions. The sweet late-afternoon light was a pleasant bonus! I can relate to children who enjoy playing in the same school playground day after day. Roaming Seymour in the winter never gets boring for me. It's my outdoor amusement park.
Along Nancy Rhodes Creek, which flows into the Eno River, this abandoned station, built in 1887, supplied water to Durham, NC. Information about its history can be found at www.opendurham.org/buildings/durham-water-company-eno-riv....
I found this building whilst scrabbling around in Crowgutter Woods. Not sure it's even a pump house! It contains some pipes and valves. That's the best way to describe it really!
Henry Curry built the Grade II-listed Pump Room for the 7th Duke of Devonshire in 1894 due to overcrowding at the previous well in the Natural Baths. It was last used to “take the waters” in the 1970s.
The Pump Room now houses the Buxton visitor centre.
