[Leica] beam me up

[Ken Carney]

Ted,

Thanks as always for commenting.  Actually, I took that photo because of 
the light beam (flare) which I could see in the viewfinder.  However, 
after reading your comments and looking at it again I think it might 
have some potential as a "real" image.  I will make the trek back to the 
site (it is a neighbor's driveway :)) and try again.
