Subject: [Leica] PAW 10 and Alternate

Chandos,

I'm reacting to content here: the alternate is puzzling and mysterious 
by contrast with the original, which has that southern rural church 
feel - and gives context for the rustic crosses. The church is missing 
from the alt, and the crosses don't have that rustic look. Nice 
contrast between the two.
