I love this architecture, and also love your composition here. The processing, not so much. *sniffle* Can we see a B&W of this gem? Pretty please?

Nice shot! Do you still have Esso stations in Canada?

Yup!

Yup!

I remember those as a kid, and then one day, bam, Exxon... I prefer the Esso name, it has more character to it.

Esso stations are less common outside the huge Toronto market. Canadian Tire(aka "Crappy Tire")stations are usually attached to their stores. This is a rare free-standing pump.

I think the B&W is a great improvement - thanks for your kind indulgence.
