And there was a pink toilet

So, that old gas station I found in Seymour, Texas, isn’t completely monochromatic after all.

The restroom door was shut when I was exploring the place. And you probably would have laughed at the technique I used to open the door: I hit it, hard, with the heel of my hand, to pop the door open and scare away any critters who might be inside (although where I thought they’d go isn’t exactly clear to me.)

But that bit of unnecessary drama was worth it, when the door swung open to this amazing sight.

Repair

I suppose this sign indicates a building that is in need of repair?

Between when I shot this in April, and when I got it ready for the blog a couple of days ago, I’d forgotten if this place was in Ralls or Lorenzo. I used Google street view and “drove” down the highway until I spotted it. While that did save me some traveling, I realize that I also missed out on the chance to take more photographs….
