composition is perfect. My grandfather used to sell RC Cola! They also used to make a soft drink called Squirt! My grandparents always had a health stock of bad soda around the house. really love this.

so will it be onto Pepsi or Coke then? :)
change seems fitting as spring approaches.
it's nice to see an open door here.
no matter how disheleved the building might be.
i only wish it was light inside.
your tag "pop and circumstance" leaves me wondering....

denise, if it was light inside, you would have seen the rather scraggly guy that came out to see what we (and when i say we, i mean ralph) were doing! he did smile and seemed to be okay with it, but he made a big production of locking the door, and wouldn't pull out of the driveway until we did!!

Holly, oh my, that is a bit scary. So the door was only opened for Ralph then, soon it was closed again. Ah. BTW, I LOVE YOUR NEW ICON. :)

This composition is brilliant dear Ralph... as are all of yours. I love the colors here, the snow, the open door (did you go inside?), and those notes! haha.
p.s. Which new icon!!??? I'm seeing the same one you've always had.

I don't know how you do it, Ralph. You're amazing! Great composition and a perfectly composed title. Seeing your name appear in the list of new photos is always a highlight in my day.

Almost seems like the building was designed with the RC cola machine in mind. Fantastic photo!

my god, RC still exists. I remember their dispensing machines 30 years ago in NZ but they disappeared pretty quick, crushed beneath the mighty aluminium pillars of Coke & Pepsi. I remember their ads had sexy gilrs roller skating in hotpants..don't know why I happen to remember that small detail..

It is like they painted the building to match this retro vending machine! Really terrific capture, my friend. Lovely balance.

I like finding old vending machines. While on a trip to the southwest (SW of Phoenix), I stumbled onto an old soda vending machine with buttons that yielded soda drinks that I've never heard of. My favorite one was Rondo ... The Thirst Crusher! : )

Lovely colour and composition - spoilt by the festoon of notes, which in my opinion should be banned from Flickr - and this is a good reason why....
