Curious sights along the way

I'm guessing this is a water tower, but it's unlike any I'd seen before. Maybe it's a leftover ship from the War of the Worlds, although that happened in New Jersey and, if I read Wikipedia right, the site of the original novel's invasion was in Surrey, England. But, I digress.

I can't read the road sign, so I don't know where this is. Digitized B/W print, August 1986.

Our mornings feel quite autumnal at the moment. And the sun comes up later and later. Let's cross our fingers for a little more summer weather before pumpkin weather moves in.

UPDATE: I found it! Google Maps helped me to find this location. It's Chapel Road at I-470 in Wheeling, West Virginia. Cool!

  4. There's a water tower like that at the beach on a military base near me. It was painted like a beach ball the last time I was there. Galestorm
