Great timing and capture Wm...always make me a little sad when I see smoking, my dad, brother and mom died as a result of smoking so we were told, many years ago.

Great indeed.
I think it can be greater.
See what you think of cropping off a slice of the right side, getting rid of top utility boxes. Just my opinion.
Excellent street, William. #10974954
