I seem to remember being able to clearly read this sign on the side of an abandoned service station in Kittery, Maine a number of years ago. Without a clue as to where or what I was going to be shooting, I decided to head a tad bit further South in my commute (there is very little land in Maine South of this...) and the opportunity would present itself. I've driven by this station a number of times and really wanted to stop for photos and today I did. Well, I didn't stop, I drove by, thought "it would be nice" then kept going until I doubled back a short time later.
This is a truly desolate station, the virgin snow was very high. Again I stood in about 2 to 3 feet of snow to take my photos. I had to walk through quite deep snow to get to a decent vantage point. Every time I see this station I think that this is what old buildings in the Southwest must look like.
I was torn between this shot and another that was in my "cull pile" I passed over it a lot during Post Processing and was about to delete it, even though it had all the elements I'd wanted to capture about this station. Here is that other photo:
