Water, Anyone - 10-10-11

Yes, We FINALLY have our internet back up and working. It was a long three weeks.

Water, Anyone?
(Old, old hand pump at “Bear Town” State Park in West Virginia.)


This is what the pump actually looks like. It was very dark...
about 5:00 when I took these two photos.

    Welcome back!
    It's been awhile since I've seen a drinking fountain like that. Brings back memories of a park I went to as a child.

    Genie, We've missed you!!! How frustrating it has been for you, I'm sure. Love the old pump picture--very nice. Hope everything stays "up and running"--hard to function in today's world without the internet. Have a great week, my friend. Mickie :)

    I love old stuff like that! Too often it is destroyed and replaced with something not nearly as nice.

    What an unusual colour for a water pump. Not your editing then? Doesn't look painted and doesn't seem like oxidized copper. I'm curious as we have an old one lying around from previous owners. But it is just metal colour. Could be made to look that pretty possibly.
