No Gas

Gas Pump with no gas

Here is another shot from anniversary trip my wife and took down to Durango, Colorado in May, 2008.

One of the towns we drove through was Bluff, Utah and while droving through I found a closed gas station and decided to take some pictures of it.

There is so much detail in this picture including the hand made sign saying no gas, the 2006 State of Utah inspection sticker, and even the taped and hand written covers to designate dollar amount.

Also, I thought that Black and White set the perfect mood for this shot.

The Forest Gump milepost

For those of you that have seen the movie "Forest Gump", there is a part of the movie in which Forest decides to start running after an incident in his life. After a while he has a large number of people who are running with him thinking he is on some noble quest or something.

One day he stops turns around, says that he is tired and starts walking past the other runners and down the highway.

This is milepost 13 on US Highway 163 just north of the Arizona/Utah border where that scene in the movie was filmed. My wife and I took a vacation in May, 2008 down to Durango, Colorado for our anniversary and stopped here on the way back.

In the background you can see Monument Valley which is not only famous for its many natural formations, but has been the site of numerous television and movie productions over the years.

Whether your a movie buff, photographer, or just like seeing interesting places in our beautiful country, you need to make a visit.
