A Deserted Gas Station in the Middle of Nowhere

Highway 70, Kansas, United States

gas station with blue sky on i 70 west of topeka topeka g193152104 A Deserted Gas Station in the Middle of Nowhere

I came across this deserted gas station while driving along the endlessly straight and flight Highway 70 on the way to Topeka, Kansas. I saw it on the way past and actually turned around and came back. There was no-one around at all. The station had evidently been closed and scrubbed of all branding and signage and was presumably destined to be demolished. With a perfectly blue Kansas sky, it was fun to break out the extreme wide angle lens and play with the symmetry of the roof and pumps. But with a plan to catch, I couldn’t hang around for long. This shot is my favorite from this chance encounter with a deserted gas station.
