HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

We have this (though slightly less UFO-y) in parts of Japan. So far as I can tell, only where space is more limited and I've never seen them as self-serv. Despite what other posts I've seen around the web, most gas stations in Japan are just like you'd find in much of the world with pumps one pulls up to.
