To roam throughout Wales after 96-ish days of lockdown. There are ships to see.....And anchors to wonder at.
The DX brand name is a fairly rare one, but one that's popular with petroliana collectors. Introduced in the 1930's by Mid-Continent Petroleum, "Diamond-X" gas proved popular in the Midwestern territories where it was sold. In 1955, Mid-Continent merged with Sunray Oil to become Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co. (to handle production) and D-X Sunray (for marketing). The Sunray brand was gradually phased out, and in 1968 Sunray merged with Sunoco. By the early 90's most DX stations had disappeared.
D-X Boron was the company's premium grade gasoline, and was introduced in 1955. This is the only D-X pump I've seen, and it's at a used car dealership. I've never seen a functioning D-X station.
Lovely art-deco sign on the guest house in which we were staying (also lovely art-deco!).

I just love autumn! There is no other season with such a great diversity of nature to photograph. Initially I was trying to photograph something else but then these sunrays poked through the trees. Beautiful!
