The price of gas changes so frequently lately some stations don’t bother to post prices. It’s a gray day, so I thought b&w was appropriate. (The monolithic building in the background is Caton Towers on Ocean Parkway.)

Gas station at night, again

Same gas station, different angle. What’s also different is the tiny figure walking toward the convenience store. No one needs gas at the moment, only junk food and air fresheners. (See previous post here.)
Gas 24 hours a day

Gas is expensive and junk food is cheap and plentiful. Help yourself to both at this place all hours of the day or night.
Shell of a gas station

There’s probably a for rent sign posted on this property out Dahill Road. It’s not easy turning gas stations into other kinds of business. It’s all about cars – fixing, leasing, and gassing them up – around here, anyway.
Blank billboard

Another repercussion of the recession is more blank billboards. The minimalism and lack of advertising are refreshing, but it would be even better if they would turn off the lights and save some electricity.
Spying on the police

Just an average citizen am I, observing the police through the cover of a two bushes. They are parked in front of the gas station convenience store. A place of neither loiterers nor malingerers, the officers are probably just shopping for snacks.
Gas station @ night

I don’t think about gas stations regularly and don’t own a car. But when the sun goes down and I have a camera in my hand, it’s an irresistable subject. (See another gas station photo.)
Checking in on my doughnuts

I stopped by one of my favorite places to take pictures, the Krispy Kreme corner of the On the Run gas station convenience store. (The last picture of this scene I put on the blog in December; I’m practicing restraint.) Today, the trays were put in willy-nilly and have no correlation with the labels. That is no Fudge Iced Kreme Filled! You’ve been warned.
Fill er up

Gas stations have long been a favorite subject of photographers. When the first filling station opened in the US in 1905, the Brownie camera had been available for five years. It was a natural combination: then, as now, the camera comes along during trips. The open road once symbolized freedom, which seems quaint now, given the current state of highways, traffic, and gas stations.
