I have had my car sitting for two years while I've been home recovering,
so I decided to get it to the shop and get it checked out. All fluids
flushed, check hoses, belts, etc.

Yesterday I took a short road trip to a nearby town, here's a link for a
couple of pics.
The view is about half way there (about 40 minutes from my house) and
the road is a side road in the town. My car is the beat up old Hyundai
in the pic :)

Ten points if you can name the town! (Not that points do anything)

Anyway, here's a link to the pics for anyone bored enough to look:

It looks just like Prescott, AZ.

Glad to see you are out and about.

You got it! Prescott is about a 90 minute drive north of me.

Thanks! But I probably shouldn't have had that quarter pounder while there,
lol :)

You brought back a flood of memories mentioning Prescott and the Valley of the Sun.

I've been through the Prescott area many times over the years. I've also been through Phoenix, Mesa, Tuscon, Apache Junction, Globe, Shilo, Payson, Quartzite, Chandler, Buckeye, Lake Havasu, Albuquerque, Farmington, Los Cruces, and on and on. I used to work out of Phoenix and I went everywhere from there. I used to walk along the public sidewalks where citrus were planted along the streets, harvesting oranges and grapefruits from the city trees.

I'm even bored enough to look at the webpage source code in order
to find a link that loads the photo in Javascript-free browsers
like Dillo and Links:

Ah, I remember that! Citrus, flowers, etc. sold on the road side. It was a
nice time.

I'm glad that much of AZ is still undeveloped and there is a lot of fun to
be had exploring.

If you have a suggestion for a better place to share images I'd be glad to
hear it. I don't do it often, so I haven't spent much time searching.

Just installed a dash cam and rear cam in the beater. The app sucks but the
cams are good. (Rove)

I just upload to web hosting these days, but photos I uploaded in
2018 to this website are still viewable there in Dillo (including
the "gallery" page):
https://www.imagebam.com/

Free file hosting services like this are another option:

Thanks for the links! I'll take a look.

I do try to avoid javascript on my own sites, but wasn't thinking much
about it on some image sharing site. I do prefer much less js on the web!

I'm not sure what stops you uploading to your own website, but in
case you're a *nix user, this is the script I use to automatically
generate a gallery web page from all image files in the current
directory using Image Magick (enter filename extension of images
and page title when prompted):

#!/bin/sh
# Creates HTML image index page using image magick.

read -p "Extension? " ext
read -p "Title? " title

montage -label '%t' -size 512x512 "*.$ext[240x180]" \
-geometry +5+5 -tile 3x -shadow -title "$title" photo_index.html

convert photo_index.png photo_index.jpg

sed -i photo_index.html -e 's/<h1>.*<\/h1>//' \
-e 's/photo_index.png/photo_index.jpg/'

rm photo_index.png

Disk space. But maybe if I'm the only one uploading it would be ok.

Thank you for the sript. I have done this quite a long time ago, but didn't
think about it since then. I will give it a try. Yes, I'm a *nix user
(Debian).
