Description

Found at a motor oil warehouse. You have to wonder what is worse for lungs – smoking, or breathing the air here.

All comments welcome!

Technical Details

iPhone 8 – all I had with me. Brought into LR and a few small tweaks of the sliders was all it needed. Never made it to PS.

I spent most of one summer in college working in an oil warehouse. I don’t recall the air being too bad, but it was certainly an experience and removed any faith I might have had in bulk oil quality.

The condition of the sign here is just perfect! Well seen.

Love this image, Diane. I think I like it so much for the colors but those deep blacks stand out so well. It’s a bold statement.

Thanks, @Dennis_Plank and @Igor_Doncov – I just now saw your replies! I love it when I stumble on things like this, far removed from my usual hunting grounds!

Great find and good catch. Isn’t poking around with a photographer’s eye fun?

It is, @Sandy_Richards-Brown, but you have to get used to people thinking you may be crazy.

LOL, I’m QUITE used to that!
My husband has even developed a “photographer’s eye” by now, and finds a lot of goodies
