[Leica] Flower Bazaar

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

First, the photographs are very good especially working out the quirks of a

Mumbai region as the flowers were epic.

With Covid largely devolved into an endemic worry please get out more to
your city/region: you live in a very interesting part of the world.
