Another view of my favorite local gas station, Mobil on the Run, at the intersection of Ft. Hamilton Parkway, McDonald Ave., and Caton Ave.

If you take the local shuttle bus that is replacing the F and G trains between Jay Street and Church Avenue this weekend, you’ll enjoy a similar smudged view from the seats on the left. The shuttle trains run frequently, but adding this detour to a trip is still a big nuisance.
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.)

The gas station store is an anomaly in Brooklyn. Mobil On The Run convenience store on Caton Avenue (catty-corner to the cemetery) has the further distinction of being large and clean, and having the occasional thing you need. (I don’t mean Krispy Kremes.) The store is a great setting for snapshots, too, because the fluorescent lights, so unflattering to human skin all 24 hours a day they shine, make the taquitos, air freshners, and chips, incredibly photogenic. You almost want to buy them.
