Photographer's Note
This shot will conclude my Ghana uploads for now!
It was taken somewhere on the road between Kumasi and Tamale (i just put Tamale as the place, as it wasn't at a city anyway)
This gas station was one of the more sophisticated kind, on the way north i also bought gas of a guy straight from the barrel only using a small bucket to fill the car.

Hi Harry,
Funny compo of this antiquated petrol pump! Good vertical framing, nice colors and focus with slightly blurred BG... Nice daily life life scene.

Hello Harry,
Nice photo--well balanced and showing the process nicely. However, anyone who has traveled in Ghana will know this kind of gas station has disappeared and is not the norm. Full stations with electric pumps looking exactly like those in any G7 country with convenience stores attached are now in almost all areas except the bush. You are misrepresenting Ghana's current economy and business climate by saying this is a sophisticated gas station. If you have really traveled from Kumasi to Tamale you would know without a doubt that it is a relic of the past.
