Nympheas, Claude Monet

[habakuk]

Hi all.

I've been visiting Paris (been there 20 years ago!) and planned to visit the Musée de l'Orangerie to see the Nympheas by Claude Monet. Stunning, very inspiring, touching work.

Even the fact I was allowed to shoot in the rooms, there is no way to transport even a fraction of the power of the huge paintings. But I wanted to share a small impression of one of the rooms. You might get an idea how that feels to sit there and sink into those paintings. I highly recommend a visit, if you ever make it to Paris.

Thanks. Yes, it is a very recommendable place... if you make it to Paris, don't forget to visit the Orangeries.
