At night we need and appreciate the light given off by utilitarian lights. We, however, do not usually notice or appreciate the objects that light our paths. One such utilitarian light system is found on gas station awnings across the country. I find beauty in the way in which the field of lights at the gas station illuminates the ground. I enjoy the contrast between the peaceful field of cool lights at the gas station and the red hot lights of cars zooming by.
