[Leica] IMG: Sunset at the Airport

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim, :-)
Beautiful response! :-)
It seems the age=knee=bending becomes a major factor in our picture taking fashion that KODAK nor other photo manufactures ever took into consider for the elder Ladies & Gentlemen Photogs!
I fully understand what you mean certainly since taking on the chore of driving? Walking a "walker?
Yours is still a very "cool" photo even without bending knees! Good on you!  :-)
cheers.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions, Ted.  Since we are about the 
same age, you realize better than most that the knees are getting 
weaker.  I will take a look at the possibility of getting the planes 
against the sky during my next visit, but, in the middle of a concrete 
ramp, there's not much to grab and pull up on. ;-)
