[Leica] Travel Snaps

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thanks Stasys. The weather was all over the boards, but we usually had 
clouds in the sky. And overcast days were like a huge soft box. So I was 
lucky on that front. Venice especially had perfect overcast lighting and 
Stonehedge was under clouds and rain making for a great mood for that site. 
In Istanbul we were there on the day where they had torrential rains; most 
in one day in 80 years. Though the camera lens fogged up occasionally and 
got wet a few times, there were no problems as it is weather sealed.

We took the Princess line; a huge ship with 3,500 passengers. Not "top of 
the line" but a lot of fun and a nice place to go back to at the end of long 
touring days.
Thanks again for taking a look,
Bob

Bob- great travel pics. Looks like you had good weather. The images are very 
krisp and sharp. What cruise line did you take? Stasys
