Default Did Claude Monet visit this place?

Another shot from my last Old Moor visit. Anybody else see Monet here?

Lily pads - old moor

Paul, I know nothing of Monet and painters, but I do recognize art when I see it, and this is art! Good job!

The moment I saw Monet's name mentioned in your title, I HAD to look...I have so many prints of his work in my home!

Yes, yes, yes, I can certainly see the Monet inspiration here. Absolutely gorgeous photo! I wonder what it would look like if you played with it with the artistic tools in Photoshop?

Just as it is, this deserves to be framed and proudly displayed. I love the colors and composition.

So many kind words Susan. Thank you. I do not have any PP yet, but hey, Christmas is just round the corner. You have great taste BTW. PAUL

I like this, it must have 50 different color tones involved! Nice.
