[Leica] New photo essay - Geneva

[phongdoan at mindspring.com (Phong)]

I must be looking at a different set 
What I see is a opening shot from an airplane.
After landing, a car ride (next 3 shots)
Then a walk in a concrete park ("I LOVE SWIS...")
Then ending shot at the waiting lounge at the airport.

There is definitely a Beginning, a Middle and an End
from what I can tell.  Pretty bleak day you had in Geneva, Kelly.
Thanks for posting.  I rather enjoy the series.
