This is Monet's lily pond. As you can see, there are no lilies blooming in this picture, so it's basically just a pond.
When you're on an eight-day cruise, it's inevitable that some of your tours will be on weekends. That was the case here, and Monet's garden was jammed—though you can't tell in this picture thanks to a strategic angle of view and a little bit of strategic photoshopping. I avoided the line (and some of the crowds) by spending half our allotted time walking around in Giverny and only about an hour at Monet's garden itself. And of course I avoided the cottage altogether (I've seen it before). In the end I only got two pictures worth keeping, and this is one of them.
Nice picture! I've been there, so I recognized it right away. 🙂
Nice! Must have been really cool to be there - so much history.
Have to give props to Dana Decker for being first to call "the administrative state" in your "What will SCOTUS do next" post.
The picture at the top was the one showing a flooded parking lot. Then Lunchtime Photo starts "This is Monet's pond..."
I was confused.
Stunning photo. The polarizing filter performing above and beyond the call of duty. Also, let the record reflect, Kevin has devoted less time and space to this week's gangbuster select committee revelations than Fox.
Do you have other photos? Can you put them online, Flickr for instance, and post link?
This is very good...even without the lily pads, maybe even better without the lily pads.
I am glad, as you certainly also must be, that you hung around and hung around and finally got the great picture. It was worth it.
Best Wishes, Traveller
