Monet became obsessed with the water lilies, particularly the way they looked in different light, light that sometimes changed from minute to minute. Many of his water lily paintings are almost identical except for slight nuances in the color.

Some of our photographs turned out to capture light or composition similar to Monet paintings. Where we think that has happened, we have taken the liberty to place an image of Monet's painting just before the photo we have taken, usually without comment. Always with humility.
