[Leica] [OM] IMGS: Ali Ibn Hamza Holy Shrine

[Tina Manley]

Thanks, Ted!!  As it turns out, the most dangerous time of our trip was the
Istanbul airport!!  I think Iran is probably the safest place in the
middle-east these days.  We don't regret a minute of our time in Iran and I
hope to get all of these photos together in a book someday.
