Damn! I don't know exactly what it is about these images - the color of the sky/pattern of the clouds/color and sharpness of the buildings/whatever - but they are very captivating to me. I thought they were taken with a Sigma camera (the one that has the unique photo chip) because of the "natural aura" I felt were in these scenes, but I see it was an Olympus E-30 (Whatever that is) which certainly did the trick, evidently, in recording a special town atmosphere.
