Did you happen to visit Bagdad while in that area? Some interesting sights in that company town.

A lovely photograph Bob. I like the way the central bold colours are sandwiched between the subtle greys of the trees and the road.
How do you know which pump to pull up by?

I like your classic gas station shot Bob, is there an interesting story about how Skull valley got it's name?

Bob I was going to ask you if this gas station is still open but then when I looked on Download I could clearly see the lighted Open sign. There used to be a similar gas station in a town near where I was born in upstate NY. If I remember correctly it even had an old wooden Indian outside the door. It was a welcoming place for kids especially if those kids had a few pennies for a soft drink (from a cooler box outside the door) a Popsicle or a candy bar. Your well done photo takes me back to those times when America was much different than it is now, a more respectful place to live.

fuminous, thanks for sharing the inspiration the photograph inspired. I'm always glad when something I created provided someone else a few moments of pleasant memories.

I more than see a gas station... I feel sun warmth on top of my head, smell clean, cotttonwood scented air and bet somewhere inside that building is a Royal Crown Cola, which I'll get right after I clear the high test pump with a solid crank of that little handle on the side... Lots of memories in that photo Bob...

Thanks, Mike. If it did explore the black and white version, it must have been a very brief try and I stuck with the color version. I might re-visit the black and white aspect again in the future.

Very nice capture, Bob! Nailed the "character." Did you explore a B&W treatment?

Hi, Bruce. I didn't visit Bagdad on this visit. However, it is on my list of places to check out with a camera.
