This is their 10th year holding this charity. During this week you’re able to stroll through winding paths of over (14) acres of sunflowers. Enjoying their beauty and taking photographs. For a $10.00 donation, (to benefit the charity), you’ll leave with a bouquet of sunflowers. Typically just a few day’s after the event they’ll let the cow’s into the fields to eat the sunflowers so try and get here during that week. The date may change from year…

    Abandoned gas station.

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”5000″ height=”750″ lightbox=”true”]These photo’s have an old feel to me but the pumps themselves look fairly modern. All the pumps have their handles on the sides and I can’t remember that in a long, long time.    I can’t exactly put a date on when these gas stations were operational.  I do like the “feel” of the setting and the vintage look it projects.  The smaller station is located in the Preston area of CT. The larger station with the package store is in Voluntown CT.  Drinking and driving always go well together, don’t they? (NOT!) Photo take with Sony Nex 7, 24MP mirrorless camera and a Carl Zeiss 24mm, f1.8 lens.
