I love this old gas station. It makes me dream of the day when all gas stations look like this!
(I also like it because I have often romanticized about owning that cliche gas station on a lonely desert road in the middle of nowhere. You've seen it in the movies, the gas station with the old guy in a rocking chair, the '50s style Coke machine, and the big dog you have to step over to go inside.)

@elaterite I love the parked vehicles especially. As if, you know, they stopped to fill up, and 'something' happened.
@elaterite for me it's a photographe you can't have in an another country. It's like a picture of a making off during a film.
@elaterite you’d get to warn the people who stop there about the ghost hitchhiker up the road
@elaterite Those were the days when your vehicle was filled by someone, the windows were cleaned, usually with a chamois (pronounced shammy), the oil checked, etc. and so forth.
@elaterite Wonderful! Time standing still.
@elaterite 😁 I can totally see the rocking chair and the old dog! Great picture, as always!
@elaterite Nice old muscle car there. Nice photo.. I remember going to places like that in the 60's.
@Jdnome Thanks! Stop there every time I pass by. Fun place to shoot!
@coolpup Sad to say, I remember those days. There used to be gas wars and they'd give you gifts for filling up and you'd get a handful of Blue Chip or Green stamps.
@elaterite They seemed to be gentler, simpler days back then. I do miss them now and then, especially when the nonsense these days gets too bad.
@lunalein Of course, there's always a ghost hitchhiker on roads like that! :)
@elaterite the slow creak of an old door, crows fly away as you approach, and ancient footprints in the dirt that only go in.
