Good morning. You know I always put your videos in the "watch later"-folder until I have a real quiet moment to watch them - and that was now 😊! You are a magician, that's for sure! How you put this beautiful little piece back to life is really something to admire, but just as impressive is your filming, keeping the focus even on the tiniest parts. And then you put it all together into a video which is - and I repeat myself - more than just a video, it's a work of art, short-film-festival-worthy!
