The story behind this image

Wandering round the estate of Claude Monet, one of the foremost impressionist painters of the nineteenth century, at Giverny, Normandy, Liz and I canm across this bamboo thicket, complete with two abandoned and decaying rowing boats.

Of course, this sort of thing is meat and potatoes to a photographer, so I took this shot and subsequently processed the image to give an impressionist 'feel'.

I wonder if one of these boats was used by Monet when he painted his work 'In the Rowing Boat'?
