It is strange that I always can pick out Summicron images. Nice picture, nice bokeh, good colors.

Damaged in wars, and finally almost destroyed in the French Revolution. It is still very picturesque. Nice colors.

thanks very much for this impressive and informative post, Glen!
Today it is a protestant church and was built in the 1300th century (but I am not very interested in history, my father was a teacher for history :( ).

I was hoping someone would post an IHS picture. Thank you Dierk.
IHS are the first three letters of the name of the Lord - in Anglicized Greek. Th "H" makes the "I" into a long "ee" sound. The "S" is Anglicized Sigma. In the 1611 King James the name is spelt as IESOVS and pronounced ee-shoe. But in the older Greek bibles it is IHSOU (S), same pronunciation. In the oldest Greek Bibles the name is never spelt and is shown only as "IC" with a bar over the top. The Lord's Aramaic name is pronounced "ee-shoe." Hope this doesn't offend any Leicaphiles. I am also a theologian and believe that art is a gift of God. And so is photography. And also Leica.
And quite possibly Dierk also.

A peach of a photo and one to be looked back on in the years to come. A photo with real meaning.
