Yes. It reminds me of American Gothic.

When I first glanced at it, Todd, I thought: "It's another sad case of my youth being overcome by 'progress.'" (If the pumps had glass tops I'd have felt even more that way.) But then I saw that somebody has put new windows in the shack. I can't begin to imagine why. Maybe that's the humor you saw in it.

It makes me smile. I have mental image of someone giggling to himself many years ago as he painted the pumps purple. I see him being a "character"; But the Towns' character. His kids probably catching it at school.

Hate to have to tell you this, Todd, but if you do enough traveling around on back roads throughout the USA you'll see more purple pumps.

It is a nice picture.  I am not understanding what could be amusing about it though.
