This wonderful image triggers the imagination in so many ways, Azlin. It could be the tell-tail sign of economic distress -- instead of a boarded up shop, you give us a papered up instead. We all know that Iceland has suffered from the economic "crunch." Yet one also wonders if someone has just used a lot of newspapers on the windows as added insulation to keep out the bitter cold winds. The patchwork of words and colors is fascinating in itself, and the Leica lens on the D-Lux 5 (I use its twin, the Panasonic LX-5) is amazingly sharp and renders every letter accordingly.
