Subject: [Leica] IMG: 99% Perspiration (Edison museum)

One of the highlights of my recent vacation was a visit to Thomas 
Edison's winter home and museum in Ft. Meyers, FL.  Most of what I took 
there was "record shots"--pun intended, as there were a lot of old 
phonographs in evidence  :-)   No artistic pretention and minimum 
post-processing, but some fun stuff. If you'd like to see them, they are 
here:

In addition to phonographs, there's shots of the house, the grounds, and 
in the museum, all sorts of fun old stuff like an X-ray machine and 
tubes, DC generators from the late 19th century, motion picture 
equipment, and the lab where he and his associates attempted to find a 
domestic plant source of latex from which to make rubber.
