Gauges by andycoleborn

Gauges

Took the day off today as was feeling a bit rough, so dosed myself up with lemsip and kipped on the sofa for a few hours...

Had to pop out to in the afternoon and whilst driving home, stopped off at an area called Davy Down where there is an old pumping station from the 1920s which is open to the public... These gauges are from the huge sulzer diesel engine that once pumped water up from a depth of 500 feet.

Thought would go for something filling the frame today...

Ooo... 3 days left.!

@kjarn yeah... I'm part of the furniture now lol...
@judithg that got me thinking... just checked and some people I follow from when I joined and who were on here before and only one is still active and uploading daily, the other seem just to check in now and again but don't upload that regular... so old... but not the oldest lol

@andycoleborn ooh yeah might try it out meself sometime...

@judithg @andycoleborn I've been following him for most of the year I've been on here and yes he hasn't followed the "upload every day" and has uploaded in batches so technically not a 365 member since 2004 but he has taken a photo every day since then which I find amazing.
