Abandonded Gas Station Wall 9411 A
Abandoned Standard gas service station, in Columbus, North Dakota, population 163, in Burke County, about ten miles from the Canadian border.
From old photographs, the car seat bench has been sitting here at least 17 years. I see from the town's website, that they had a city-wide cleanup drive the DAY AFTER I shot this. Hope this beauty didn't get hauled away! One of the reasons that I don't like revisiting abandoned places that I've shot: I prefer to remember them exactly as I shot them in an idealized way.
Great town for abandoned shots (like much of this area). Could have spent a lot of time here, but had to move on. In particular, there was an old gas station (still in use) where maybe 100 mud swallows had built nests on the station wall and were flying around. Would have made a great shot, but from experience shooting similar shots, I know a person might be sitting there a *long* time before getting the shot, especially without some kind of blind.
