No sweat, Amos.

Actually, someone just pointed out to me that in the "Mantoura" part the reference is actually to a tree of the "Mantoor" or "Manthoor" flower, and that "Ta'a" means window and "soura" means just a plain photograph.

Accordingly, the first paragraph might take a different meaning.

I'm attaching the other form as well.
