If you are an Impressionist Art lover, it is very likely that you have seen Monet’s series of water lily paintings. Some of those paintings are now on display at a commanding place at Boston Museum of Fine Arts and are among the museum’s treasures. Monet painted the lily ponds in his house and garden in the village of Giverny, 80 km from Paris.
But the following are lotuses, but not water lilies. I took the pictures at Dong Khanh Tomb. Though it’s just a bit further from well-visited Tu Duc Tomb, I admit it’s my first time there. The tomb was almost empty except for just a few wandering tourists due to the restoration which was taking place. Remember to click on each pic to see its larger version.
It’s getting late in the afternoon and the sun was trying to light up the pond the last time before dying. The pond bathing in the gleam became even more splendid from the shade.
Right,I have ever had chance to be there, noone can deny the unresistable hidden beauty of the pond, something tranquil but eternal.
