Fuel Up Chicago The whole purpose of dayYou know how you drive past the same things around your town and throughout your daily routines? For me, this constant is a MapCo gas station near my home in Knoxville, Tennessee. So, the odds are in my favor to catch it with spectacular light. And that's exactly what happened one evening this past summer after an evening rain. I love combining Mother Nature with the mundane manmade.
