The Weekend in Black and White: Esso

I took this shot a few days ago in the NC mountains. In the U.S. it's unusual to see Esso signs anymore. After 1972 regulatory restrictions Exxon replaced Esso on most U.S. signs, although Esso continued to be used in other parts of the world.

Interesting black and white photo.
I wish you have a nice weekend.
For me, the three days it rains.
I hope he comes back autumn sun.
Greetings from distant Polish...
