Ruby gas pumps

Old gasoline pumps, Rancho Los Alamitos, Long Beach, California

Silent are the red pumps
That once gushed gasoline;
Now the search is earnest
For a fuel that's clean!

  2. I love the art-deco pumps - no longer dispensing dispensing the old leaded gasoline, they have been re-purposed as sculpted metal sidewalk art. Nice!

  3. What was once a common necessity is now an art of wonder. I remember seeing one in operation and was fascinated watching the oil churn round behind the glass at the top.

  4. These gas pumps just need an old restored service station to provide the right background for them. Very nicely captured.
