Sorry! No Petrol Sales Today :: HDR
Crap Challenge #2
This is my 2nd post for my crap challenge set :)) Yeah rather crappy subject but that's the challenge! ;) Anyhow its fascinating to find an abandoned petrol kiosk out of nowhere. It must have been there since coca cola era cos it looks real vintage & classic to me! :P
