[Leica] IMG: Pics from the Good Life!

[Jim Nichols]

My photos from the airport this morning fall into the category of luxury 
goods, or the good life.  As I parked, I noticed a Mercedes SL 550 near 
me.  I decided to snap a couple of images.  When I had finished, the 
owner returned and we talked about the car.  He asked if I would like to 
see it drop the top, which he proudly said took all of 14 seconds.  I 
said that I would take pictures of the process.  Here are the results.

And finally, I noticed this Auxiliary Power Unit installed in the tail 
of a recent Cessna jet.

All of these are things that I enjoy looking at, but have no inclination 
to own.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
