jones beach water tower… again…

Another take of a favorite tower, in a favorite state, on a favorite beach, on a favorite island.

Back to New York for this post. One of many images on this blog of the Jones Beach State Park water tower.

Another shot from my recent trip to NY. This is the rest of the tower featured in the previous post. My dad and my son patiently waited while I walked around this tower and took a bunch of shots. It was a beautiful day to be on the shore!

 

tower down! tower down!

oops...dropped the water tower

How the mighty have fallen! This old water tower was a favorite landmark in our little town, but, alas, it was not up to the task of providing enough water for the growth in the past 7 to 10 years. Progress…sheesh!

Here is the Jones Beach Water Tower. You can see the stone structures at the bottom that house the lights that were in my previous post. I have an abiding love and heart for the shore, and, the memories that I have of growing up around this beach. This beautiful tower (it actually is a functioning water tower) is representative of the art deco design featured throughout the bath houses and other structures of Jones Beach.
