Gas Pumps & Stations

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.
I couldn't find much information about this online, but it appears this facility used to be part of the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant. The IAAP closed down in the early 1990s and most of the property has since been torn down. Part of the property would later become the Charlestown State Park in 1996. This building is one of the remnants that can be viewed from inside the park.

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 :-)

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.
You can see one of the massive 22 ton flywheels through the windows.

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.

Swanbourne Pump House, Arundel, West Sussex.
The 1846 Pump House was restored through joint efforts by Arundel Castle Estates and the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society. Official opening - 21st June 2001.
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.
