When you see a gas station on the sidewalk, don’t you have to take a photo? I live in Seattle, WA USA. We do not have any gas stations like this. Without a picture, it’s hard to describe. These gas stations would be convenient* unless they caused traffic jams. Particular cities in Italy limit the vehicles on the road in specific parts of the city. In order to drive in an area labeled “limitado”, you must have a permit. If you do not have a permit, there are cameras everywhere that will take a picture and send a ticket to your residence. The system is fascinating.

You could take a picture of the sidewalk gas station without being in it, but then how do you say you were there and differentiate it from all the other flickr, snapfish, picasa photos?

*In dense, old cities, gas stations are not easy to find. A sidewalk gas pump would be a godsend when you realize your gas gauge is on empty. A single pump you serve yourself. It is compact and so convenient

Get in the picture!

This is just a standard shot.
