Thanks Betty...for everything! .... wow, looks like at least the money in that vault was probably saved.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting artifact. Thanks, Betty, for hosting and sharing your photo. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an outhouse. But the contents were much more valuable!
ReplyDeleteGold rush...
ReplyDeleteIts necessary and good to remembering. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh... I've never seen anything like it! I hope nothing more happened! - The photo is great though, you don't see that often...
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Julie
At first glance I thought it was part of an old bridge 😁😁 never seen anything like that before, great photo.
ReplyDeletegreat Photo from artifact!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Elke
It looks like the safe was very stable?
ReplyDeleteThat is so very cool. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteStrange what you can find when you start to look around. Thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that these were saved as sculptures
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post.
ReplyDeleteInteresting but such a sad reminder. I hope no one perished in the fire.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, Betty!
That's a powerful part and this wooden bench can take it. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Eva
Hi Betty, so glad you invited me to your blog. I don't normally visit blogs that have external links. I normally consider them spam. However, something (and I have no idea what) had me linking to your site. I read your story of how you met your husband and learned you were originally from KS, too (I live in Wichita). I appreciate you inviting me to join in your family friendly weekly photos. However, I prefer not to do so this week, because I want to properly link you when I do. I'll join next week, and if you don't mind, I'll add your badge to my right sidebar. Most Sundays I will post a mural I have found in Wichita. I say "most," because every year from April 1 through April 22, I share a recycled or repurposed project. It leads up to what most people call Earth Day, but I call bEARTHday.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I also have a Cool Pix, but I doubt mine is as nice as yours. I bought it because it uses 4 AA batteries and not a flat battery like my first Cool Pix. I got tired of waiting for the flat battery to recharge, and I always have charged (rechargeable) AA batteries on hand. I'll see you next Sunday.
It's amazing what heat a bank vault can withstand. That is one incredible photo.
Well...Sic transit gloria mundi.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW, Betty!
Almost a metaphysical painting...
ReplyDeletewell the bank vault was certainly secure! Thanks again for the link up and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis part of the building that refused to be destroyed by the fire. Great find. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post and pic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
The vault withstood the fire and that might be reassuring in a perverse sort of way.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, thanks for your comments on my blogs and for hosting My Corner of the World. I do not normally add links to my printed comments so next time I will not add if there is a link on your comment. If I do it for one I have to do it for others! Sorry. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteAh, the safe was ...well, SAFE! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Betty!
Looks like it's sitting on the bench! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that the vault still has a lock on it made me smile Betty :)
ReplyDeleteThe money is all gone I bet:)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteSeems like an interesting place for a bank vault. Wishing you a great day!
Like this! Interesting post!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a raging fire! Makes for a fascinating photo. The vault is locked, but surely, the money has been removed? ☺ Thanks for hosting this link party. Cheers
ReplyDeleteBetty - we are all reassured that our worldly goods will be preserved if our bank burns down. Too bad we probably cannot say the same about bank vaults in the "cloud"!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting find and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool!!! Hope they had a better door at the time it was a bank!
ReplyDeleteInteresting find, at least the vault did the job it was supposed to. :)
ReplyDeleteThe money was safe there!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool story! Warmest thanks, Betty for hosting and creating this lovely linky party.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a wonderful weekend on the other side of our planet.
