I found this abandoned petrol pump (gas pump in American "English") in the town of Penguin and processed it to look more vintage. So, if anyone has ever wondered what's inside a petrol pump, it's this!

This is 'vintage' for the January Treasure Hunt. Whilst the treasure hunt has been fun, I'm not sure it's improved my photos? I feel a little constrained by limitations and am looking forward to just freestylin' again!

"This is 'vintage' for the January Treasure Hunt. Whilst the treasure hunt has been fun, I'm not sure it's improved my photos? I feel a little constrained by limitations and am looking forward to just freestylin' again!" I totally totally TOTES understand how you feel!! I have all but given up on the treasure hunt - I was going back and filling in ones that I've missed but now I've no idea what I have and what I don't. Maybe I should fix that today - I don't want to give up because I yelled at YOU not to give up. :)

I love me some Tiny Jesus, and I am using him as my subject this week for Single Subject Challenge - but I am going to be GLAD when this week is over. I feel limited too, and I'm not really happy with any of my TJ pics. I guess you learn something new with everything you do, though. From now on, we're freeballing all the way!

Hmm. That doesn't sound right.

Sure had a lot going on inside now didn't it? Never really thought about why pumps were in boxes, but seeing it now I would never have found the courage to pump my own gas if I'd seen the "innards". Lift the lever and squeeze the handle on the hose seems so cleverly deceptive now.

@gdenoord Haha! Excellent idea! I'll work on it.

@beautifulthing Oh, no not giving up! I'm so anal, I LOVE ticking the items off my list. I wrote them all down on a blank page in my diary and am highlighting them once they're done!
