[Leica] New Toy

[Douglas Barry]

While, along with a lot of things, I can take or leave them, I liked Olmsted 
6918 as the sprinkling of humanity gives the image a lot more meaning than 
the usual nondescript landscape shots.

Generally, I feel wide angle is great for property sellers (realtors) who 
want to create delusions of grandeur amidst the banality of the normal...
