Oooooh! Nice!
It sort of reminds me of a story I heard from a mate who'd visited Ethiopia. He'd gone to see the churches at Lalibella. The local bishop happened to be around, and was keen to show the tourists the stunning, hand-illuminated, thousand-year-old vellum Bibles.
My friend and his companions were awed, and expressed a disappointment that photographs would not come out well in the low light. The bishop was puzzled: didn't they have flash-guns?
When the tourists said that that probably wasn't a good idea, the bishop offered to take the books outside to take advantage of the sun instead.
