Friendship, NY
This building was built specifically to house a new Steam Pumper for the town's Fire Dept. during the oil boom days.
The building has been modified to accommodate an ambulance, so the original arched door that matched the windows was replaced with this nasty modern square thing. The building is still wonderful though.
The town stills owns the original pumper, which still works and is hauled out once a year to spray water into the air. The pumper is also still registered as operational fire fighting apparatus.
P.S. In Charleston, there are still many pumper stalls, complete with grooved thresholds to give the horses traction as they hurried out of the building with such a load. Several of these buildings are haunted. It's true, though I'm not sure if by horses or people. This is a growing problem, as the U.S. population migrates southward, so do the ghosts from the upper mid-west and the northeast. Charleston is experiencing a mixture of nocturnal paranormal accents as yankee poltergeists mingle with their southern counterparts.
It is said that the ghost that once haunted this Friendship, NY building is now wreaking havoc with weary firemen in Charleston, but that has not been confirmed.
Taken while on a walk around Siuthwold harbour in Suffolk. If you walk away from the coast following the river Blyth you eventually come to a walkway bridge and just a bit further on is this structure. Don't really know its history but it appears to be an old drainage pump. Not the prettiest focal point for a comp but I think it works overall.
The swell, tide and sunrise all lined up perfectly to allow me to get this shot. It is a location that has been covered plenty of times but I was keen to add one of my own to the collection. An icon of Newcastle.

This is a 2 Pump Retained Station, Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service
Borumba Pumped Hydro Electricity Project that will be able to store 2 gigawatt of energy for the Australian electricity grid has just been given the green light to proceed to detailed engineering design. This project will be built just upstream of this location. So I guess that this well make this site "Greener" than it already is.
Well not quite... Under the pier that supports the pipes (top right) carrying sand and seawater that is pumped from the south side of the Tweed River (here) up to the north or Gold Coast side. The purpose is to replenish the northern drift of sand impeded by the rock walls (groynes) which keep the Tweed River mouth navigable. The supply of sand is vital to the maintenance of the Gold Coast surf beaches.
The pipe on the left is disused. But what a superb afternoon it was!
The Beam Engine House at Crossness Pumping Station, Belvedere. Built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and opened in 1865. This fine piece of Victorian architecture was once nicknamed "The Cathedral on The Marshes", and was one of the first sewerage pumping stations to operate in London..in conjuntion with its close neighbour opposite, on the north of the Thames at Beckton. These stations would collect sewage from the whole of London, and store in on-site reservoirs to be pumped directly into the Thames at its outgoing ebb tide, and onwards to the sea. Thank god this does'nt still happen today..although at this time was a much needed operation to combat London's sewage problem, and the health effects it caused. Joseph also lead the building of 850 miles of large bore sewer pipes, linking the basic system of 'direct to river' outfall, this new system would carry sewage away from London and onward to Beckton and Crossness, and still exists below us today!!
One sees many of these wind pumps in the Overberg region, between Robertson and Stanford, in the Western Cape. Finding three of them together was a bonus…
Have a great weekend, everyone. 😊
HFF!

Water is a critical resource and has been for the life of our planet. These two outlets, running to capacity, are moving water from a weir to an aquaduct which flows to the local reservoir providing drinking water to the community.

Yet another version of this old service station whose pumps are gone. If you think you recognize it, it's because you have seen a different shot of it awhile back.
My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness.
Early on in the COVER OF NIGHT series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations

… Museum of Steam Power and Land Drainage. Heritage Museum showing how steam pumps were used to pump water from the Somerset Levels to help prevent flooding.
I drove by this place for many years. It's out in the country not near any town. It has not been inhabited for a long time. I posted this on Facebook and learned that it was once an old schoolhouse. Really neat place.
Old pump labelled Red Jacket from Davenport, Iowa.
