Thank you for taking us on a 10 pic around your town.
What amaze me is how much nicer images looks when you take them when it is overcast. (•ิ‿•ิ)
I hope you are not going to mind me giving you a tip.
Your images... The perfect size of an image is for example the one you shared about the filling station. Some of your other images is too big. If you had resized them your post would have been "picture perfect".
If you don't know how to resize here is post of mine which can help you;
