The image depicts a coastal scene with a large sign that reads "LONG BEACH" in the background. In the foreground, there are several gas pumps and other structures partially submerged in shallow water, suggesting the area is flooded or near the water's edge. The sky has a warm, hazy glow, creating a serene and atmospheric mood. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and the natural beauty of the coastal environment.

This is a haunting image of a flooded gas station, likely taken at the Salton Sea in California. The scene shows partially submerged gas pumps and a large sign that reads "TEXACO" in reverse lettering, standing above the water line. The water has a smooth, reflective quality and the overall color palette is muted and sepia-toned, giving the photograph a nostalgic or melancholic feeling. In the background, mountains can be seen on the horizon, and there appear to be some boats or debris floating in the distance. This image captures the decay and abandonment that has become characteristic of the Salton Sea area, where falling water levels and increasing salinity have led to many structures being abandoned to the elements. The photograph appears to be a fine art print, as indicated by what looks like edition numbering at the bottom of the image.

The image depicts a flooded Texaco gas station, with the sign and pumps submerged in water. The sign, which reads "TEXACO" in large letters, is partially visible above the waterline, while the pumps are completely underwater. In the background, a mountain range can be seen on the horizon, and a seagull perches on the sign. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of desolation and abandonment, as if the gas station has been left to decay and neglect.

The image depicts a serene scene of a body of water, with a sign and several objects partially submerged in the water. The sign, which appears to be made of wood or metal, is positioned in the center of the image and reads "TEXACO MARINE" in large letters. The sign is attached to a metal pole that extends from the water's surface to the top of the sign.

In front of the sign, there are several objects partially submerged in the water. These objects appear to be old gas pumps, which were likely used to fuel boats and other watercraft. The gas pumps are rusted and worn, suggesting that they have been exposed to the elements for an extended period.

The background of the image shows a calm body of water, with a few boats visible in the distance. The sky above is clear and blue, with no clouds or other obstructions visible. Overall, the image suggests a peaceful and serene atmosphere, with the old gas pumps and sign adding a touch of nostalgia and history to the scene.

It's worth noting that the image may have been taken at a location where the water level has risen significantly, causing the gas pumps and sign to become partially submerged. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as flooding, tidal changes, or human activities such as dredging or construction. Regardless of the cause, the image provides a unique and interesting glimpse into a moment in time, capturing the beauty and tranquility of a peaceful body of water.

The image shows a water body with a signboard in the middle that reads "TEXACO". The signboard is attached to a metal structure with two poles, and there are two gas pumps on either side of the signboard. The water body is calm, and there are a few boats docked on the shore. The sky is clear, and the mountains are visible in the distance. The image has a vintage filter applied to it, giving it an old-fashioned look.

Here's a description of the image:

The photograph depicts a surreal scene of an old gas station submerged in water. The "TEXACO MARINA" sign is prominently displayed across the top, with its letters clearly visible. Several vintage gas pumps are partially submerged, their tops barely above the water's surface. A small pier or dock structure extends into the water with several boats moored. The water's surface is calm, reflecting the overcast sky above. In the distance, mountains can be seen under a muted sky. The overall tone of the image is somewhat desolate and nostalgic, with a sense of abandonment and environmental change. The photo appears to be taken during the golden hour or a time of day with soft lighting.

The image shows an abandoned, flooded Texaco gas station at the Salton Sea. The water is calm and reflects the light, creating long shadows. The sky is a pale, dusty pink, suggesting dawn or dusk. The "Texaco Marina" sign is partly submerged, with a seagull perched on top. Gas pumps stand partially in the water, hinting at a time when the station was still operational. Mountains can be seen in the background, providing a sense of depth and scale to the scene.

The image depicts a partially submerged gas station in a flooded area. The scene is set in what appears to be the Salton Sea, a saline lake in Southern California. The gas station sign reads "TEL YACO MARINA," indicating it was once a marina. The gas pumps are partially underwater, with only the tops visible. The surrounding landscape is barren and desolate, with distant mountains visible in the background under a clear sky. The overall mood of the image is one of abandonment and decay, highlighting the impact of environmental changes or neglect. The photograph is credited to Richard Misrach, a well-known photographer.
