it's an interesting old town area, though old is a relative term.. The station, though, catches my attention every time I pass by it.

Its just luck on the day mate.
You can always get a technicaly good shot, but a great shot involves a lot of luck and opportunity.
And then,the voters need to like it.

All mine come off my phone. Maybe I should wait until the call is over before trying to snap the shot...

Not a gas station but a whole main street in Goodwater AL. Only building with any "life" was the Sheriffs office/Town Hall on the right with the cop car parked by it.

 

[CarlS]

That is sad and it is an all too familiar scene.

 

[keystiger]

It was rather creepy driving through it, only about 2 blocks, but still weird, most the roofs had caved in, and the place I parked in front of must have burned as it was an empty husk between two other dilapidated buildings. :-(

 

[The Seeker]

I only know of one "ghost town"......Centralia, Pennsylvania which was abandoned after the coal mine fire underneath it that's been burning since 1962 (still is).

The video game and movie "Silent Hill" is based on Centralia.

I heard about that place. Hey Seeker, ya know Pennsylvanians are allowed to attend T.R.A.M.P. events

And the distance between Pittsburgh and Cheaha State Park is closer than the distance between Cheaha and Houston. To borrow from "The Price Is Right" . . . A.J. Turner, come on down.

Looks like a scene out of The Walking Dead! minus the zombies...

 

[GRRR8!]

Never one to pass up a good abandoned gas station, I snagged this one on my way into Cheaha Park.

 

[keystiger]

I think I passed that same station (at least once) when I was running back and forth lost on Friday.
