States of decay

This Caltex sign was at a working petrol (gas) station.

Caltex is the local equivalent to Texaco. I think they are owned by the same multi-national. That particular multi-national doesn't see the need to keep their image sparkling. (This station is on the most-traveled highway in Kenya: the road between Nairobi and Mombasa.)
