@Magda: Thanks! Probably should brush my boots up a bit.

Has a nice old-photo 40s quality to it. And since It's Silly Tuesday I think I'm allowed to comment, "Cute!" P.S. It has that very "clean" look to it that you are so good at.

@Dulcie Andres: The LX3 has a Leica designed lense, so you get that high gloss look...after you turn off all the automagic stuff.

I bet you can have some really Silly Tuesday hats after the race. I like the composition of this.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): Thanks! It's been silly around here for weeks, this Friday night will be a head hurter! They should be sober by next Tuesday.

The light enlightens it as a sun from which it's sensible to protect !
Very well made !
