[Leica] Some of a few recent shots from the UK

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Good Lord!  How did you manage to carry all that gear?    ;-)

In any case, thanks for the info.  I'm a bit surprised that the 
widest lens you used in those first 17 was 21mm.   Some, particularly 
#17, look wider.

By the way, having taken another look, #3 (Mist by the Huts - 2) 
really caught my eye.  It has a wonderful air of mystery about it.

Thanks again.
