Sara Rawlins of Lawrenceville recognized the recent mystery: “The gardens and the green shutters on the pink house could only be Giverny, Claude Monet’s home near Paris, France. He lived there for 43 years and would paint the passage of time by painting the water lilies during the different times of day throughout the years. The water where the lilies grow is a part of the Seine River. When I look at his paintings I feel peace in this world of turmoil. His paintings are very calming.” The image came from Paige Havens of Hoschton.
Several others also spotted the scene, including Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Bill McLees, Norcross; Jim Cofer, Birmingham, Ala.; Ruth Ann Foster, Lawrenceville; Margo Ashley, Lilburn; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who sent a picture of the area, saying:
Monet’s studio
“Monet lived and painted here for 43-years, from 1883 to 1926. I have attached a photo that I took of Monet’s studio when my wife and I visited the house in September, 2018. Like everywhere else in the house, the furniture and objects in the room are exactly the same as they were when Monet lived and worked there. On the walls are some reproductions of Monet’s works, the originals of which can be seen at the Musée Marmottan-Monet in Paris.”

Movie location overkill in traffic cones?
How many traffic cones does it take to shoot a television program? A lot for this one. Check it out and you’ll find 60 of these bright cones where the movie people were shooting part of another Will Trent episode recently in Norcross. By the way, it was shot from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m., hardly heavy traffic time on what is not a major thoroughfare.
