This old Texaco Station sits at the intersection of routes 178 and 303 (Ace Basin Pkwy and Green Pond Hwy) near Green Pond, South Carolina. I spotted it while driving from Charleston to Savannah one day and couldn't resist framing a shot.

Were I passing by again now, I'd probably shoot a bracket for an HDR given the structural qualities of the scene and the tonal range.

Just for grins, I decided to remove the from the image and that left me with the view below – almost black and everywhere except for the building, the sign an a few of the larger tree trunks.

What do you think?
