Fill 'Er Up

Uploaded: April 23, 2012

Description

Wouldn't you like to fill up with gas at yesteryear's prices?
This gas pump sits abandoned on the Saskatchewan prairie. I can imagine a steady line of vehicles waiting to fill up.

Cool shot Heather! Bet that old pump is worth something. They were buying one on 'Canadian Pickers' last night! #10106991

Terrific find, Heather! I remember stopping for 50 cents worth of gas (which a station attendant put in the tank and cleaned my windshield to boot). #10107304

Yes...I'm going to have to get a more economical car--the trips back and forth to Philly are squeezing me!

Nice find, Heather. #10107327

FABULOUS OLD TIMEY SCENE. Love the tones and textures and would have loved those old gas prices on my last RV trip. Great find and capture Heather. #10109045

I love the shadows playing across the wall behind the bowser, Heather, I reckon the bowser and that little bit of wall would make a wonderful scene on it's own!! :) #10109155

Absolutely wonderful find and capture, Heather!!! #10111087

Mary K. Robison April 28, 2012

Excellent rural find, Heather. Stark branches casting shadows on a rusted gas pump and weathered wood really convey the sense of decades past and places long abandoned. This creates such a nostalgic mood. Great capture!

Thank you so much for all your friendly comments tonight. Hope you have a relaxing weekend. #10112235
