[Leica] [OM] IMG: Siurana

[Robert Adler]

Wonderful!
What a gem Lluis suggested. These are  great images that do a terrific job
of conveying this ancient and quiet spot.

I have to admit I'm partial to the BW images as well as the detail from the
645! At first I liked the color image of the Road to Siurana, but going
back and forth between them, I saw detail and depth not in the color one.
That would make a really lovely big print!

Thanks Nathan for taking me to such a unique place and conveying it as a
lovely read. Really well done, IMO.
Hope all is well.
Best,
Bob
