[Leica] Landscapes and Icebergs

[Sonny Carter]

I was away from a large screen, and really didn't want to comment without
seeing your images properly.

Hard to imagine the majesty in person of the sights you've seen and shared
the last week or so.

Happy that you did, as I'm sure I'll not get the opportunity to see them
for myself.

Thanks and
Regards,

Sonny
