The Genius #I

 
 
(Taken on the way to my company, ESE). 
OK, no. see:
 
 
My Dad: "Better be 15 minutes early than 5 minutes late"... so I went to the most dangerous store in Braunschweig, Graff, and got this set. Well, dangerous. I don´t have to walk that far, I have bloggy friends like Erika who make me buy books "all the time"! The Four Sisters are here, just saying (speaks the owl 🦉).
 
K was late cause she was sick, but she was there! 
Showed her this, she had a company-phone and looked it up at once: "Banksy is in Hanover - NOW!!!"
Me: "Hanover. Naahhh..." Hanover is ugly and chaotic, I just don´t like it (MHH 🧡, the Medical Center saved my arm and hand but still... nah...) 
 
But then I looked it up. And said, "hey, this is an installation!!! Not just an exhibition!"
And K was in it at once, so we went!
(Yes, sorry to say, Sami, Ingo had no interest!!!)
In bad weather, Autobahn closed due to snow etc...
 
 
 
Fun side-note: Often lost-me found the parking-space!
Sad side-note: Despite we are a Daughter of DB (Deutsche Bahn) / railway) the car was cheaper... Anyways, here we are:
 

 As we both are vaccine-free we took the stairs and found this:


(I´d asked if taking pics is allowed beforehand - it is!!! This is BANKSY! Right?)
 
 

Much more to come (we were not even in yet!!! You get this for free!)
 
The memo... "remember"?

Yes, Henry, Banksy sure leaves a "print!

He's good but I think I prefer Henry's "prints" i can't imagine driving country roads in snow, what if I got lost? Yikes!

Iris Flavia said...

River, LOL, no worries, this is Germany, not Australia, you don´t get lost (well I could manage that, in fact, I did)...
His work is... We were a little... "serious" afterwards, it´s not all fun.
But thought through and very well done.

Jeanie said...

Fabulous, Iris. I can't wait for more!

gigi-hawaii said...

I am not familiar with Banksy, so this is new to me.

Divers and Sundry said...

I avoid driving in any snow at all, and you look like you got tons of it! I enjoyed my virtual visit to see Banksy, though. Cool!

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, more to share on the way (hard drive)...

gigi, he is ... fighting using art!
Hope you like his work.

Divers and Sundry, luckily my friend did the driving!!!

My name is Erika. said...

I think I tempt you rather than make you-smile!!!!! Funny how the car was cheaper than the train. Maybe trains need to consider that. It's true here too. But trains can definitely be more convenient. And Cool Banksy. Glad you found the parking space. I think you had a fun outing. Happy new week. hugs-Erika

RedPat said...

You were so lucky to see this, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

I silently thank you, Erika!
Yes, train here is more expensive, very crazy. And sad and dumb.
Yips it was a fun and packed day, much more to come, hugs!

RedPat, yes, he´s also or soon on Cologne!

Bill said...

CJ Kennedy said...

How lucky to see Banksy's work in person. Love the little teddy bear in Henry's paw. All kitties have one. 💙

Iris Flavia said...

Sue. YES! I´ll very happily share - it was truly great!

____

Jan, yes, it was worth all the way to Hanover!

CJ - thank you! I didn´t even see the bear!!! Awwwww 🥰

Sami said...

Glad the trip to see Banksy was worth it, even in the snow!
Great murals Iris, thanks for contributing to Monday Murals.
