Oh, this is so impressive to see, and a great, huge photo, Richard. Also it's a very distinctive design and architecture.

Brings back lots of memories! I haven't seen a mobile station in years. I believe Mobil is owned by Exxon, now. I sure remember those big 'flying horse' signs when we traveled back when I was a kid.

Cool shot, Richard!

You said you were going to post this, and I was really happy when you did---and twice. You couldn't have showcased it better: You have it as a triumphal "top" to this pic, even though it's some distance in front of the hotel. It's still composed as a huge top-center to it all--- very dramatic! And it stands out, too, because of its deep reds against all that blue. Your tilt allows that horse to appear level; and the detail in the horse if very visible (something we expect from you, because of how well you do it): We can see the metal panels in the sign, as well as the neon tubing, and the back of the opposite side. There's almost a halo around the building too. Beautiful capture of what looks like a difficult shot to capture. A real beauty.
