[Leica] [OM] IMGS: Hurricane Mitch

I have seen some of these on Facebook when you have posted them, but it is so much more powerful to see them collected in a gallery.

I am not going to pick favorites, but the resilience expressed in this one struck me:

But as you say, this optimism turned out to be only partly justified.

Cheers,
