Ask For It!

Uploaded: July 23, 2010

Description

Came upon this very old gas pump in a very small rural town along one of our drives through the country. I just couldn't pass this one up. The old wooden building made a perfect backdrop. Taken in full sunlight. Slight adjustment in curves, contrast and sat. Unsure of category, so entered into *Catch-All* Thanks for looking and have a super weekend my friends!!:)

Laura- LOL at your comment. Well, I am right along with you as I to enjoy these old things and Yep myself. A wonderful find and I can see why you could'nt pass it up. I would have done a turn around to get this one. The side of the building is a beautiful backdrop. Gorgeous colors in that full light. Love the rustic look and that sign really adds that special touch to make this a beautiful work of art.
Have a wonderful weeekend my friend, take care. #8783462
