[Leica] adding pictures

Charles,

It is entirely possible to take bad pictures in Italy, but your are good.

However, I am using this to make my usual comment that location does not 
matter as much as we all think. The main things is to get to know the 
place. My best pictures in the past few years have been from Zurich, 
Seville and Amsterdam. Why? Because I have either lived in or spent lots 
of time in these three cities, so I got to know them well and was able 
to convey their atmosphere or whatever you want to call it. When I go to 
a previously unknown place I tend to take record shots. I suspect for 
many of us it is this way. Certainly, the best pictures on the LUG (in 
my opinion, anyway) are taken where the photographer lives or works.
