18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Gas Station Wreckage

I passed this former service station near Abilene, Texas while on a photo driving trip of central Texas. It had clearly been left to rot and had been in that condition long enough for small trees too grow around the pumps. The red Buick was not part of the service station scene. I found it in a parking lot in nearby Mason, Texas. The color and deterioration blended nicely.
