Henri Cartier-Bresson, an Exhibition in Wolfsburg.

Here are two more photographs from our visit yesterday.  I was trying to be clever and show the photos in black and white, similar to Cartier-Bresson's, but it has only worked on the lower photo of Karin and Monika viewing the pictures . I edited the photos in Picassa, but for some reason my editing only worked on the one photo.   The exhibition was a life enhancing experience, a new way of looking at our world of contrasting pattern and textures, even in the simplest of scenes and all in  black and white.  It was  a day to remember. The following website: www.henricartierbresson.org   will give you more detail of his life, attitudes and work, and reproduces some of the photos we saw yesterday.   After our visit to the Art Gallery we treated ourselves to some goodies in a nearby cafe.  I had a very large black cherry ice cream sundae and Karin and Monika shared a huge pizza sized waffle with cream, which Monika washed it down with a glass of beer.   It was a wonderful day with friends in  "Autostadt Wolfsburg," home of the VW Headquarters. 

The new city was established after the last war and reminds me of the New Towns in the UK.  I did not feel as if I were in Germany, such was its similarity to Milton Keynes, Welwyn Garden City and Crawley.  Wikipedia has more information about the city which is twinned with Luton in the UK.
