The weather was nice today (meaning it wasn't a blizzard), so I decided to take a little stroll around my town. I walked around about half of the main area of town before I gave up and went back to the warmth of my apartment. Here are a few photos of what my town looks like in winter.
This is my apartment building.
I'm in the top left apartment.
That's where I go snowboarding.
The view from in front of my apartment, straight down the main road.
The Uryu river which passes through the town.
More Uryu river.
A local store (it's Sunday, so it's closed of course). Above the store is possibly the most useless map I've ever seen.
The back streets of town.
Town hall.
One of the many warehouses around town.
The view from the back of my building. You can see the elementary school in the distance.
One of the few eateries in town.
Out town has 3 gas stations (about 2 more than are really needed), which is convenient. Just don't expect them to be open on Sundays or after about 5:00pm during the week.
I had never noticed this orange house before. It has to be the only house in town that isn't painted a shade of white, brown or gray.
