 Students of 4th of ESO have visited this amazing exposition with the works of the famous photographer Emilio Morenatti. Each student has commented on what one of the images appealed to their senses and the result has been extraordinary.  This are some examples: " I can see a woman crying. I would hear the sobs of the woman and the explosions. I would smell dust and gunpowder due to the city's state. It reminds me of a salty flavour, like tears. I would be touching fabrics because I would hug the woman" (Miriam A) "In this photo I can see a woman who is destroyed about the consequences that the war has brought to her country. I could smell all the pollution there is in the streets. I also smell the dust and gunpowder. I would be touching the stones that are on the floor.
