EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a middle-aged man in a traditional Scottish kilt, filling up a van with petrol at a service station in Britain during the 1960s. The man's tartan kilt, adorned with a sporran and jumper, adds a touch of authentic Scottish charm to the mundane task of refueling. The van, with its simple design and lack of branding, harks back to an era when vehicles were functional rather than adorned with logos and marketing messages. The service station, with its pumps and hoses, is a common sight on the roads of the 1960s. The man's focused expression and the slight sheen of rain on the ground suggest that this was a necessary stop on a long journey. The use of black and white film gives the image a timeless quality, allowing us to imagine the sounds and smells of the scene. Transport in the 1960s was undergoing significant changes, with the rise of the motorway system and the increasing popularity of private cars. However, this image shows us that even in the midst of these changes, there were still moments of tradition and authenticity to be found. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era, when filling up a van with petrol was a simple task, and a man in a kilt was an unexpected sight on the side of the road. It is a moment frozen in time, captured with the skill and artistry of a talented photographer.
