MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomWow! this is kept in good condition. A great capture Ron. "You can be sure of Shell" or so the advert used to say here, back in the 70's 19 May 2008 7:10am António Pires from Lisbon, PortugalIt's not only the pump, but the building, the windows, that's what I imagine is the spirit of the Route 66. 19 May 2008 9:42am Mandy from Johannesburg, South AfricaIf only gas was still that cheap!!1 Really nice picture Rob. I like this shot - the colours are great! 19 May 2008 10:49am eyeswideopen from Emmaus, United StatesExcellant color in this shot. It's a beautiful vintage pump....now I wonder if I can get the vintage price at this pump. 19 May 2008 11:44am Observing from Chester, United KingdomThat's a great old vintage model. Do you agree that things were better then....? BTW Ron, it was 'Shell' that operated out photo club (see my about page). Great shot bud. 19 May 2008 11:55am Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United StatesGreat nostalgic image...beautiful vibrant colors, great light. I love the shapes and lines of these old pumps. 19 May 2008 1:14pm Andrew Gould from Sydney, AustraliaWhat a great subject and image. The subdued light is very attractive, although I think I might have played around with the levels in postprocessing, and brought the highlights up a fraction. (Just an idea.) 19 May 2008 1:50pm Michael Rawluk from Prince George, CanadaEvil Shell has a great friendly looking logo with gorgeous colours. I wonder if the red is for all the blood the continue to cause to be shed. 19 May 2008 3:42pm Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaI really likie this, and I think it would go well with my photo of yesterday or the day beofre...anyway it was yellow ;) 19 May 2008 4:02pm Baz from Teglia, United KingdomBeautiful photo! Although I really like the colours it would be interesting to see it in b&w 19 May 2008 5:37pm Jrask from Pasadena, United StatesHaha, nice choice of subject Ron, great colors...$5.74?! 19 May 2008 5:41pm Bonj from Jefferson City, United StatesNice shot. Great color. I would guess it has been reconditioned to be in that nice of shape. Total sale $5.74, I guess that means they just got a gallon. ;-) Hopefully we don't actually get to that point. 19 May 2008 5:43pm Graham Russon from Cape Town, South AfricaLovely shot, Like the colours in this once. Great work. 19 May 2008 7:12pm Ronnie 2¢ from London, United KingdomIsn't it strange how much we are attracted to the ordinary just by the passage of time. Very nice. 19 May 2008 9:04pm Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceEven the price seems to be of an other age !!! 0-)) 19 May 2008 9:06pm Mindy from United StatesOld gas pump, low price per gallon, yellow and red...

I thought I was so clever doing that link thing but it looks like I've linked back to your archive page instead. DOH! ANYWAY...it's posted on the 28 of April if you want to have a look! 21 May 2008 11:12am JoeB from Brampton, CanadaIt's a beautiful colour, there starting to look like icons from a different era. 21 May 2008 1:28pm Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesI was getting gas the other day and noticed someone had left their receipt.
