[Leica] Quito

[Philippe]

Thanks Jayanand.

The architecture looks like Spain, or Portugal indeed. I like it that they built house with human proportions.

The old man, bottom line (apart) is my favorite, in colour :-)

I could view more if you have any left :-)

OTT: why the XE-1? fear of theft? Weight? TIA

Amities
