Thirsty?

Posted by From My Perspective (Hamburg, United States) on 17 June 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I love old water towers , to think of the craftsmanship that went into building this and maintaining it throughout it's useful life... remarkable..... and now we have all these metal sterile monstrosities scattered across the landscape

Is this close to the train graveyard from yesterday?
Are you in PA by any chance?

I like this picture, do you think the tank is still full of anything? -It looks rather old.

yes i agree with your sharing - the amount of craftsmanship and skills in making the tank and putting it up and then maintaining is certainly something to be admired!

very cool shot. PA has some great old structures (not all buildings!) for photographing... covered bridges are one of my favorites. :)

@Sarah: hey Sarah thanks for the idea !! , there is a covered bridge not far from me .........

great shot - love the "feel" of it. They don't make things like they used to - and we are worse off for it.
