Old Time Pumps


This old gas station is in my town. I hardly ever come this way, and I was stunned when I first saw it about a year ago. Problem was, it was a taco stand at that time. Cute idea, but it made photo ops difficult.
I drove by recently to find that the taco establishment was no more, and this lonely old station was completely deserted. Yay! Time for photos.

I shot from so many different angles and had much trouble deciding which shot to use. In the end, I basically had to employ eenie-meenie-miney-moe.
Great photo of these petrol pumps...love the angle and great focus...well done :-)

What cool old gas pumps. I would have opted for straight up and down but that is just me.

Like your POV - another great find!

That's great! I love the American design back then, its class, esp in the kitchen :-) That's when things had character...

Thanks to all.

@blightygal
Thank you. :-)
I've amassed quite a collection of vintage kitchen implements also, thanks to eBay. LOL
I'm sure they will turn up in my project at some point, probably on days when I can't (or don't want to) get outside.
I so agree with you about the old things having character.

That's quite the find. Glad the Taco stand hadn't pulled them out, or is this a historical place? In any case, nicely done.
