When the old Shell station was closed it was fine with me.
When I realized it was being modernized, not demolished, I formulated a plan.
I wanted to get some images of the brand new station.
What's surprising about this is, I actually did.
It had been open a few hours when I took this shot and all the others that didn't turn out as well.

Well this one certainly turned out well! - I like it.
Wayne you are getting these night shots down pat. I clicked on your photo and looked at the other photos on your Flickr page. I see the gas is $1.439. I though it was high here at about $1.367.
Shiny and new. Looks a bit like LEGO style.
I like your image.
It looks so much more amazing than what it actually is with this wonderful night photo.
Futurized, sanitized, idealized -- great photo. Has a mid century modern vibe.
Wayne:
looks too hygenic for a petrol station.

It surely gleams!
Love this. You are channeling Ed Ruscha: http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A5086&page_number=6&template_id=1&sort_order=1
You're absolutely right Bob. This shot is influenced by images that have impressed me for years including Ruscha's.
Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.
Nicely done Wayne!!! Very nouveau...very, very!!!
I love this one Wayne, the red light against the black sky, really great! Interesting to know that a gas station can look good on photos!
