Vehkalahdentie, 8:47
 
I go for a lengthy walk in the bright morning sun. I decide to start by walking down the side of the Teboil gas station at the junction, and then follow roads I have never actually walked down before.
I end up walking down Vehkalahdentie and when I get to the end I notice that the small self-service Shell gas station has no customers at all. I walk in to photograph it in its unused glory.
Just as I take the photograph a car pulls in and slowly circles, waiting to see which way I will walk before deciding on a path to the pumps.
