[Leica] Quartzite AZ

[jackyaus at gmail.com (Jacky aus)]

Dear Aram,

Thank you so much for sharing the photos for the trip. I particularly like
the photos for the starry night. It makes me thinking about the beautiful
sky with creation of many stars, just like the pictures you capture, so
quiet and so calm. It is so wonderful to have that by the night. Perhaps,
that is why I remember this song -

Vincent ( Starry, Starry Night) With Lyrics

Hope that you also like this as an appreciation from me with another
approach in sound.....

Cheers,

Jacky
