Assignment - Neighborhood Photo < 1 Mile from Home

I live in Hartland, so my options were rather limited.  A neighborhood is a community, so I wanted to avoid flora and fauna as subjects, and focus on people.  Though I suspect landscape would be fair game.  We have one shopping center a mile away, so I took my camera and stood in the parking lot.  I did not have a subject in mind.  At first I thought it would be interesting to film a stand-alone coffee shop and pull up vehicle making a transaction.  But then I observed something as mundane as a gas station.  I noticed there was a certain symmetry when two cars fueled up on either side of a pump.  Exposure 1/60 second, f5.6, ISO200, AP, pattern metering, 300 lens.


Post processing I centered the histogram, changed to B&W, used lens correction, and saved as BMP.
