This morning, early, I returned to Decatur to get a better look at the Whistlestop Cafe under direct sunlight (yesterday remained dark and stormy). I learned that this cafe has been in operation nonstop since 1929. I set up across the street and began a panoramic composition of the Cafe and the Petrified Wood Station down the street. I don't believe I have ever seen vintage gas pumps such as these anywhere except indoors at a museum or antique shop. These are still in place, in front of the station. The sun got pretty hot today, and the humidity was not pleasant. I have opted to finish this painting indoors in the days ahead.
