Monochrome in Maine

We lost our electricity for 4 days after the hurricane.  Then we had our vacation in Maine, in the middle of nowhere without any electricity..Now we are back into the fast pace of work and life..

I took this photo while we were driving in Maine, on our way to Eastport - one of the easternmost locales in the mainland USA.

I liked the photo in color, but the blues and reds drew your attention away from the old car. In black & white,  I like the way your eye is drawn to the textures in the car and the way it is framed between the two old gas pumps.  I wonder what the price of fuel was back then??

  5. Hi Phyllis,
    This is just perfect. I like the rounded Esso signs playing off the rounded car top. Where ever did you find such a gem? The weeds add the final and perfect time gone by edition.
    Frame it! :-)

  6. Great find!! I like old cars and antique buildings. Imagine the gas was cheap enough to ask for 25 cents worth.
