...an old gas pump beside the Birchrunville General Store slowly rusts away, but provides a window back to a simpler time.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

nice shot - love the vintage and nostalgic feel thanks to desaturated colours and abandoned look and feel...

I like aged and nostalgic things. If I'd seen this I certainly would have been poking my camera at it. Very nice capture of it.
