 |  |  |  |  | Abandoned Gas Station
< on 11/16/2009 10:09 PM >
|  | | | Every time I drive to the Bay Area and back, I see this abandoned gas station. Sometimes I forget my camera, and other times I say, "maybe next time." I finally had my camera and some friends and said, fuck it, I'm not waiting anymore.
The location itself is small, but I felt like I got some good shots out of it.

I haven't finished editing all of them yet, so only six photos are up. Feedback is greatly appreciated. :]

| | | | Wow. 92 octane. That place has been closed for awhile. Pix look good so far.
The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us?

Ah yes, I know this gas station well... If you drive up the road a little ways, you'll find an entire abandoned power plant! Watch out for the security guard though.

It was super cold that night and I wanted to make it home by a reasonable hour, so I decided just to take a few. Here's the only other salvageable one from the set:

| | | | You're braver than I. I always worry about rattlesnakes and vampires when I see abandoned gas stations on 101 ;)
There is also an abandoned donut shop somewhere along the way....although I'm sure it's been turned into something else by now. BTW i like your shots! There were only a few though. I guess I'm used to sets with at least 40 pictures of the same subject hehe...

| | | | I'm driving down to Ventura the night of Dec the 23rd, and I will probably make a stop at the power plant, but I'm not sure if the security guard still hangs out there. He may put a wrench in the works.

Well if you want to meet up send me a PM and I can give you my number. I work in Atascadero, which isn't too far from there.
