[Leica] IMG: Persepolis Bas Relief

[Gerry Walden]

A wonderful series Tina, and the bas relief works very well with the Monochrom. My wife would have loved to visit this place although I think I would have had tremendous trouble getting her to leave it. It is such a pity that more tourists do not go there, but your work certainly gives a valuable insight.

Thanks for sharing such great images.

Gerry
