Travis Good, "When Stations Offered Service." First Place Advanced - Architecture. Judges Comments: nostalgic scene, well composed, good light, snow is lovely. "This picture was taken as I drove down old Route 66 in search of images of American culture from the 1930s through 1970s. In Dwight, IL I came across this beautiful little gas station from the 1940's. From back when attendants would check your oil and tires, fill your radiator; clean your windshield and all while you filled up. Back when such places were called 'Service Stations' for a reason. Back in an era now passed." Nikon CoolPix 8800, f7.0, 1/170 sec., ISO 50.
