tanking up

Tucumcari, New Mexico

exploring the area involved a lot of driving around...luckily, this being Route 66, there was a good selection of gas stations where we could tank up

Olympus Stylus TOUGH TG-3
1/800s f/3.5 at 6.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Great scene. I'm sure the gas was a bargain price!

It’s amazing how frozen in time these images are. Excellent tones to fit the mood and sense of desolation. V

A fine photo of this vintage petrol station.

Interesting find and image David. That's one long fill-up hose.
Dennis Hoyne24-Feb-2024 02:30
A wonderful find, and so nicely photographed. I'glad that hose was long enough to fill her up.

This is so great!! Perfectly framed image. Love the old pump.
Nick Paoni23-Feb-2024 22:07
OK, I love this! Just the best!

The octane may be low, but the hose length makes up for it.
LynnH23-Feb-2024 21:55
:) That's quite a hose. V

Very Cool! V

Haha, looks like that one hasn't pumped in a while.
joseantonio23-Feb-2024 19:31
well seen and captured.V.
Helen Betts23-Feb-2024 19:18
What a great scene, well captured. I agree with Alain -- old everything except the hose.
janescottcumming23-Feb-2024 18:43
That’s a neat looking old truck. I like how it is framed between the trees. I never saw a gas pump like that before.
Dan Greenberg23-Feb-2024 17:56
A perfectly framed scene where all the element go with each other so well. Great image David. This is one that I don't remember seeing when Neil and I were there. ~BV~

Love the processing and as Alain, said-----the humor! VVV~

A petrol pump relic for a car relic, a very coherent whole, and a beautiful image full of humor.
However, the fuel hose seems brand new ! V.
