Carpe Diem #661, Poplars

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

As you all can see I have a wonderful logo for this month and our new prompt-list you can find in the menu above. This month I will try to dive deeper in the matter of Impressionism. And today our prompt is Poplars it's based on a wonderful Impressionistic painting by Monet.

Credits: Poplars On The Epte - Monet

This painting is part of a series of paintings which Claude Monet created in the summer and fall of 1891. It's an awesome series about poplars and in that series Monet is experimenting with the plain-air light. He paints impressions of poplars. Sometimes very clear but also somewhat faint, but ... well it's an impression ...
