LOVE the sidewalk shot - I keep staring at it waiting for the face of
Jesus to emerge from it, like some Shroud of Turin, or grilled cheese
sandwich. There's nothing there, yet there is. Fantastic.

As to the others - eh. Sorry. But a shot of snow at the beach is - a
shot of snow at the beach, unless there's something really special in
it. And as to the couple walking on the beach - yup, it's a couple
walking on a beach at sunset. 

But that first shot? Wow. :-)

You all have certainly been prolific over the weekend.  I don't pay 
attention to the LUG for two days and come back only to find more 
than 60 messages to read.  While I do that, here's my contribution 
for the week.

We had brilliant, cloudless sunshine on Saturday, the first in a long 
time, so I went looking for light and color while I was visiting 
friends on the Cape.

These are all from my Digilux 2 at ASA 100 in Aperture Priority Mode.

I found this splash of light on a sidewalk:

Two shots on the beach, reminders that we still have a way to go 
before summer arrives:

And, finally, three shots taken just for the sheer joy of the color. 
The first two are variants on the same theme.  Anyone who went to the 
last Leica meeting should recognize the location.  The first is more 
complex than the second.  I like the the red lights in the scene, but 
others might find them distracting.  Let me know which you prefer.

And, a cold sunset that looks like anything but that.

Comments, criticisms, and wild flights of enthusiasm always welcome.
