I took this with me when I moved from Brooklyn to Levittown to Virginia. It was used in my Brooklyn home when I was growing up. I never used it but I like its appearance. Years ago I scrubbed it down and painted it with black paint used for stoves.
We had a stove very similar to this when I was growing up. Along with a larger kitchen stove it was our only source of heat. Man, those were some frosty winters! I like your altered images, especially the first one in shadow.
Its antennas are out The body seems to have some sort of "fur" puffing up. Wings are lifted off door. Here it is just before takeoff. It was too fast for me to get pictures. It flew down to the concrete. Then up against the siding. Then flew away. My friend was gone, but I enjoyed its visit.
I seem to fall every six months or so. I'm hesitant to use a cane because it makes me feel so old. But it's much better than losing my balance. Maybe I can find a cane that looks good and not make me feel frail. Luckily it happened just as I got to the treatment center in the hospital. A man and his daughter stopped and left their car to help me. My glasses and cell phone were in the street. The nurses at the IVIG infusion area took me to the emergency room where a CT scan showed no broken skull where I landed on the back of my head. My blood work was good. My IVIG treatment was rescheduled for tomorrow. No luck having it cancelled for this month!

ReplyDeleteThe image in sepia tone seems so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThey look so small but they can give off a lot of heat.
ReplyDeleteEdit # 3 is my fave!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in West Virginia I had a wood burning stove that was a bit bigger than this. It was interesting to try and cook on it.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is good, like the effects.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
