Leonard:

He took it from the bank opposite a row of poplar(?) trees.  I found it  
in my copy of the recent book, "Henri Cartier-Bresson; The Man, The  
Image & the World", various authors, published by Thames & Hudson.

See page 71, photo # 67, bottom of page, Ise-sur-la Sorgue, France,  
1988.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for the complement. I don't think I've ever seen the  
photo you describe. I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for looking,
Len
