Time Marches On
Everything has a story. Driving past this cabin I saw this large Texaco sign. As a child, I remember my Dad getting gas at a station with this sign. The cabin looked like it might have been a place where fisherman either stayed for the night or cleaned their catch of the day. It was on the river’s edge of the Myakka River.

The sign was rusted on the back but could have been from the steel it was made from.
I don’t have many photo of old or abandoned things. This was one that came close.
I’ll have to think more about that when I take future photos.
Glad you like it. This little cabin is about 1/2 hours from where I live on a river back.
Toodles …

The shack looks so old but the sign looks brand new. Could be a commercial for plastic or metal 🙂

You could be right about that Tina. There wasn’t anyone around to ask about it. I just assumed it was old
as the company no longer exists. It was bought out by another petroleum cooperation.
I assumed the cabin was a place for fisherman because it was close to the rivers edge.
Glad you enjoyed viewing and left a comment. ~~~ : – )

This is one of my favorite subject matters and you did a nice job of capturing it. I love old signs, but I don’t see too many of them around where I live—mostly old abandoned farm houses and barns. You’re welcome to come and see my take on the matter. 🙂

I enjoy taking photos of signs but they don’t necessarily have to be old.
The challenges open up new ways to look through the lens. I appreciate your

Those big old signs are amazing – and this one is actually in good condition! Do you you know what material is was made of?

The sign was rusted on the back so I think it was steel. Perhaps, from the metal.
The front does look like its’ in good condition. I think old signs are interesting.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Much appreciated ….

The sign doesn’t look all that abandoned but I tend to take photos of
pretty things. Now, I’ll pay more attention and notice other looks.
Thanks, Jo. ~~~~ : – )

Pretty smart for an abandoned cabin, really bold and colourful ♥

hahaha …. I was playing with color. I love color so I felt this blog was too a little
bland. BUT … photos seem to look best with less color around them. Thanks for
noticing so quickly. I’ve since changed it back but altered the font background color
which helps the comments to be seen. hahaha Now, I may change the banner. lol

Thank you for linking to my post. i love this sign. I have an aged version of this sign that I’ve never posted. You’ve given me inspiration.

I’d love to see it. I’m not sure if this is an old sign. The back was rusted.
The cabin was in worst shape on the side. I photographed the better side.
Now, I’ll know to photograph all sides in the event that pretty isn’t always wanted. ~~~ : – )
Your welcome on the pingback. I love that photo. Thanks for letting me know it
was okay to do. Thanks ..

The sign I have is underexposed a bit and I haven’t processed it so I’m not using it yet. I could email it to you if you like. Or w e can just wait until I do something with it and post it. Thanks for your interest.

I have lots of those photographs – underexposed or over exposed.
I’ve heard it said that if you get 10 photos out of all the ones you
photograph in a day – it’s a good day. ~~~~ : – )
Hope to see it posted one day. Thanks for the dialog.
