[Leica] Virginia horse country

[leica at ralgo.nl (bruce golding)]

Purveyors of real estate, T&T, in MIddleburg (given the community,  
how did it get that name?), show a cross-section of accommodation,  
which is enticing, but ...............

Oh to be a property photographer, working on a %age, in that neck of  
the woods. Mmmm.

Phil., your camera may have been on auto., but the images depict  
clearly the environs on a sunny day.
Love the right 2/3rds of the grass image, it came swaying onto my  
screen as the pixels formed!
