Rusty Water Tower

    A nice old relic from the time you could understand a function by its appearance. Nice one Andy.

    I wonder if it still holds water.

    I like old water towers. They look so "hometown".

    I love discovering an old water tower.
    I knew a woman who was swept away in their house by Hurricane Hazel as they slept. The firemen managed to rescue them somewhere south of Dundas st.

    Our town just replaced a water tower that looked like this one. The roosting vultures had to find a new home.

    I can't remember the last time I saw a water tower except in an occasional movie.

    I like old water towers almost as much as old barns. Nice find!
