[Leica] IMG: Mountain lake

[pklein at threshinc.com (Peter Klein)]

Thanks for 'splaining while I was at work, Geoff.  :-)

Luis:  There's a similar problem with this picture from Yellowstone. The 
water is nearly boiling, and insects that fly too close to the surface get 
stewed.  One of these days I should spend a couple of hours with the clone 
tool on this one and then make a big print...

You can see several sensor spots on this picture.  Look along a line across 
the center of the picture against the blue sky, just to the left and right 
of the steam and water.  There's another spot in the upper right corner. 
This was during my M8 shutter's oil-shedding period, now over, thank 
goodness.
