Just a little bit, but it is one step further. I can understand all the bitternis, of course! When we have a look at the world around us, we see that isn't perfect. And we know we can't change the whole world. But just a little bit... Everyone in his / her own way. Maybe with our Leicas, maybe not. Sometimes we move more then we expect! And sometimes there are little changes in our world. Even if it is only O N E starfish. Tina, I looked at some of your photos! I think you found your personal way. Congratulation! And Ted, I think you have already done something for this world. I know this frustrating feeling. Sometime people are more set in motion then say can show us! And to be on-topic: Are LU people who care more about the world than others? Best wishes Hendrik
