Pump!

I knew that I was going to be at a client's office all day, today, and that it would be dark when I left to come home, so I was rather pleased to see this, something worth snapping, just near Mark's house as I left, this morning.

They're odd, aren't they, these artefacts that get left behind? At some point, the pump was no longer required. But no one ever needed to remove it, so it just sat there - unwanted, unused - until it was so old that it became a novelty and they built this little structure around it, which is a shrine to the immediate past.
